Yes. Nginx was forked from Apache by a Russian programmer.
What do you try to imply with your statement?
I don't know that he was trying to imply anything. But I find it useful information, since there are lots of companies with IT Security departments that will more heavily scrutinized software based on its geographic origin.
When I joined my company, one of the first things I was tasked with was determining the origin of all of the software installed by my predecessor. Some of it got chucked out because it was from certain places.
And this was looong before anyone started dropping bombs in Kyiv.
It's not weird for a company in the UK to favor UK software, or a company in Japan to favor Japanese software, etc.
