Many Russian internet businesses (can't call most of them startups) copy parts of interface, ideas or business models from American [ex]startups.
They never seem to copy the whole experience as a whole, as it seems to be with Chinese ones - but useful bits here and there.
On the other hand, when they don't copy they are accused of that anyway because for some reason Russians value precedence in tech highly.
In all the world the problem seems to boil down to: If there is a business model that works and the niche is vacant in their market, why innovate?
