Baikal went bankrupt in 2023 because they used TSMC for chip production.

Elbrus is barely hanging on but it’s helplessly far behind, you can’t really run a modern DE and browse modern web on anything but their flagship Elbrus-16C, but that’s made for servers, AFAIK there are no “desktop” form-factor motherboards for it at all, and it’s exceptionally pricy compared to competition.

I think a more likely outcome is that russia starts bulk-purchasing chinese CPUs soon.
