I have the feeling it's just a "cover my ass" situation, in this way when they receive legal requests they can redirect them to the trash can

While it's possible that it's developed in Russia because there are so many smart devs and engineers, it would be stupid to actually make the product in a country without the supply chain and they would need to smuggle everything from abroad and back for shipping to the rest of the world. And getting payments from the distributors

IMHO it's actually made in an unnamed Chinese factory and in Russia there's just a shell company (if at all)
