It seems like Russia's tech is having innovation spikes here and there, but it just seems so. I haven't seen any original ideas in that documentary. Everything is a copycat of some idea someone else had in Europe or in the Americas. They took it and made it far better, but for a very limited market. They exercise the same principles Steven Jobs had used for his designs: find cheap shit (or get paid by the gov), make it golden, sell it. That's also why the Russian nuclear institute looked like a trash dump in the video. You can't sell nuclear science to people. Not with a logo on it, you can't. But, who knows. Never underestimate the idle mind of a Russian. It's dangerous.

However, it seems that most people reading this thread are from the Родина (rodina: motherland) and get offended by objective criticism about Russia.
