I was doubting your comment, but after looking into it seems like all the Russian sources claim it to be around 200,000 rubles.
Does anyone have any idea why an average consumer, would even consider buying this at this price?

- newuser88273 11y agoIf you're in the west, KGB backdoors are less of a risk to you. Say you're in the west. NSA has backdoors into your US-designed hardware and your US-designed OS. NSA also, probably, has access to your ISP's routers and US net/web corporations like Google. As a result, NSA may hide C&C channels where KGB use of a backdoor to your hardware would still show detectable illegitimate network traffic. Lower risk of detection translates to higher probability of use.
- ex3ndr 11y agoActually our team (Actor.im) is thinking of trying to provide messaging services on such machines if someone will be interested in government-like organization. Because we are will be open-sourced soon and in russia there is there own smartphones (but build in china yes) we can try to provide most secure solution in market. May be some countries like Germany are interested in such things.
