Myths of the Russian software market

The Russian software market is wild, like everything in our country. One of the largest distributors in the Russian Federation is suing a large vendor. And remember the search of 4 years ago ? There were even murders . Rollbacks are flourishing. The software market, of course, is not as criminalized as, for example, the real estate market, but it has a lot of what the professional community considers “black myths”. Good material on this subject with no less interesting discussion. But the look at these myths is no longer on the other side.
If someone believes that the IT industry and, in particular, software sales is such an oasis with white and fluffy, cool guys in jeans who have left the admin environment, then know that this is a myth. But the "black myths" are, alas, not myths.
