Russia doesn't have the resources to develop new advanced technologies. Most smart people left for high salaries, ones remaining make money in business, not engineering.

Russia's space industry has essentially relied on tech developed during Soviet Union. Try to think of any technology that's not encryption related that was developed in Russia in last 20 years.

Parallels, Acronis, JetBrains but it is all IT. In aerospace all companies is government owned and and it is not possible to create private ones because Putin regime will take it away from you.
