Rebranded western software?

Some open source projects are rebranded as Russian with minimal changes, that happens, yes, but that's the result of gaming the system that incentivizes development of Russian software, not the result of sanctions.

Russian replacements of Office 365 and Google Docs seem to be doing well.

As for hardware, the EU is not yet under American sanctions.
