“It is important to create conditions for cooperation, which can help develop a unique product,” Russia's digital ministry said in response to 11 developers being delisted from maintaining the Linux kernel.
North Korea did this already. I expect that Russia’s effort will be as good if not better. Bonus comedy points if they use NK’s effort as a starting point.

And they have a much more literate and especially tech literate population. And way more money than NK.
Somebody once was showing me a modified version of Windows XP and I’m sure it was a North Korean version. But I can’t find it now.
