>> Russia used to be quite advanced in information technology

it really never was. apart from a few one-off examples they have nothing if interest and quality.

Yandex, Kaspersky, Telegram, Intellij (including Kotlin), Nginx, VK to name a few. All those are coming from Russia.

yes they can clone western companies.

very valuable, very high tech.

for nginx/intelij - you can find a few good examples in any country on earth.

does not make the country good in tech.
