how do you rate these distributions

Mint was founded by Clement Lefevre who's French. And one of the main developers is Russian.Debian was founded by Ian Murdock. He was American. Debian is developed by people all around the world. Is it an American distro or international?
Ubuntu was founded by Mark Shuttleworth. He is South African. The Canonical company is based in the Isle of Man, UK.
Security? Linux is supposed to be totally transparent. People can look at the source code. Has there ever been advice to stop using any Linux version because it is insecure?
(In a communist state, you can't just say no.)
That above was the first and the last offtopic post of mine in this topic but I just had to tell @wizardfromoz he was wrong. Just had to!Yes .......your first thought was correct. This not the place to politicize things.
Has there ever been a real Communist government anywhere? Your Wikipedia article surprised me. It sounds brutally honest.Communists have not been in power since 1991, when the USSR was disbanded
In Russian politics, a "party of power" is a specially established party which unconditionally supports the current president or prime minister in the parliament.
In this thread there seems to be fear of politicizing things. But isn't the very nature of a question about "Russian distributions" political?
It is.Is it?
Then what's the point of singling out Russian distros? How would Russian distros be any different than any others, except that they presumably are compiled and controlled within the country known for lack of freedom and which therefore presumably might be tempted to abuse a Linux distro for it's state aims?The OP made no mention of politics, or fear, or mistrust.
Maybe I was wrong. Though I think the fear of fear might be driving things here.But fear not, I doubt anyone will get emotional over the Russian government.
It is.

Seriously. What's the point of singling out Russian distros? What is Russia known for? Dr. Zivago? Cold Steppes? Fur hats? Big missiles on parade? Meddling?

if we can have a thread rockx music could we have a thread " is there are democracy left" or " lets put the world to rights " or " conspiracy rules"?Yes .......your first thought was correct. This not the place to politicize things.
