Or maybe the Russians might invent something of their own?

They did have those space programs which were a big deal at the time.

If we count China out, the all-Russian phone would be in a suitcase form-factor. The best tech process for chip making in Russia is 110nm, even though 90nm was bought a decade ago.

You don't know that.

If China didn't make phones, wouldn't you have said "all Chinese phones would be shaped like a pyramid"?

China invests huge amounts of money in their own chip making and it didn't start yesterday.
