GPS in Russia
That’s right. An article about satellite navigation in the Moscow Times discusses, not Glonass - the Russian satellite navigation constellation - but GPS. Apparently, receivers from the rest of the world are dropping in price and becoming more common.
Glonass is not mentioned until the final paragraph, along with a mention that restrictions on locating a place to within less than 30 meters will soon be eased.
The Defense Ministry, keen to further develop the Global Navigation Satellite System, Russia’s answer to GPS, said in March that it would ease restrictions on location determination by year’s end. The industry hopes that will further boost the use of the navigation equipment in the country.
