No so much a case of having 'come so far' as 'bouncing back'; the first satellite in the GLONASS network was launched in 1982, after a decade of development. IoC was 1993.
International access was offered in 1996, but this coincided with a decline in funding and waning of coverage. It took until 2011 to patch the gaps in the constellation.
