except for perhaps… a scalable pg bouncer? And good nuclear reactors [1]?
Not to say I support many Russian political moves, but I think discrediting an entire people and their outputs on Russian politics is brusque - particularly open source ones.

Neither pg bouncer nor nuclear reactors are unique inventions in and of themselves - these are just iterations on what has existed previously. Of course russia can take an existing thing and iterate on it (computers, rockets, AK-47, etc.) but that wasn't my point.
Was a flight to space an iteration?
