Are There Russian Technologies That Benefit Common Man? by uncleck(op):
It just crossed my mind to check everything in my house now. I realized that not a single thing here is made in Russia. I'm wondering if I've ever seen anything like "made in Russia". It seems more than 50% of things I own are made in China. The rest are shared between US, Japan, Germany, etc

Does anyone here have any items made in Russia? Are there consumer technology that Russia is the leader? I'm curious to know

Durov the founder of Telegram is a Russian living in Europe, once lived in Dubai.


Russian leaders have always set a very wrong priority for Russia by focusing squarely on ammunition. Russia depend on Germany for cars. Yes they have Russian made cars but they are not popular even in Russia.


Their extreme racism and quest to outshine United States made them blind from reality.


It is Putin that's trying to open Russia to the world albeit wrongly.


He should have avoided the senseless invasion of Ukraine and focused on improving Russian relations with Africa, MiddleEast and Asia, and invested more in research and development of solutions for everyday problems that can be exported to the rest of the world.


They have the technological know-how but lack the right leadership to channel their expertise to the right things just as Xi did for China

These are all deployed on military endeavors. They don't have much benefit to the man in the street

You're right. Their advancement in space technology among other things could be deployed to improve consumer communication experience, combat global warming and improve health care. Their military technology could also be useful in automobile and general electronics endeavors. But everything to them has to be dead merchandise

A lot of inventions that make their way into civilian life often start off as military research.

Even the internet, as we know it, owes much of its origins to communication protocols and frameworks from that world.

P.S - Russia’s great at invention, but stinks at innovation -- https://theconversation.com/russias-great-at-invention-but-stinks-at-innovation-35940 cool

Your bolded statement shows what they're preoccupied with. It's about their priority. They're too preoccupied with military advancement. While America is spending so much on military, they don't relegate consumer technology. That is balance. China and also giving attention to every aspect of human endeavor...

Russians are number 1 in space tech and nuclear plant that provides electricity around the world including other hi-tech.

The western countries blocked most of the Russia technology in Africa as they are having inferiority complex issue. Russia started the space race

Russia's products are Mostly in Asia countries. They have big market than Africa

You want to be objective and no take sides? The old Soviet Union invented or pioneered stuff that benefits the common man till date….

- Space, Rocket and Radio tech. They launched first space station, Sputnik 1 the first manmade object in space , First multi stage rocket, first manned aircraft in space, they created the first rover and landed it on the moon

- Health- First human artificial heart
- First mobile phone device
- First life support machine (autojektor)
- Ilizarov apparatus used in orthopedic surgery
- First anthrax vaccine for humans

Do you have any proof of the claims above? Because I don't think any of the things you mentioned was invented by Russia except maybe a periodic table

But you know that this is not true, right? Can you mention any consumer technology that Russia has an edge over other countries? We have Toyota/Honda from Japan. We have Samsung from South Korea. We have apple from US. We have a lot of pharmaceuticals from India. We have Boeing from America. Tell me that product that Russia boast off let alone being boycotted by Africa.

They made LADA same way Chukwuma makes IVM. Difference is that one is state owned while the other is private owned. They have never been leaders in auto industry.

I don't what you mean...LADA is 100% made in Russia.
Yes they are not a power house when it comes to auto industry but they have the technology to produce almost anything.
