They are reusable spaceships. The Russians had one too. There is also the escape shuttle on the space station.

The nearest word to explain 'Shuttle' is "Ferry."
There have been two space shuttle designs.
The USSR design, called 'Buran' and the USA design. The Russian design was based on the American design.
Only the design by the USA is in use at this time. The Russian shuttle flew only in an unmanned test flight.

There is only one type in existence; the NASA space shuttles. All other spacecraft, like Apollo or Soyuz, are called something else, like capsules or spacecraft or whatever.
