“But staff and ownership are Russian.”

Ok. Does that matter for open source software?

Yes? It takes a lot of time for open sourced code to be examined to make sure there's nothing shady in there.

Just because it's open source doesn't mean it doesn't phone back home or it won't have a sketchy update in the future that can use some exploit to dig so deep in your device that even a factory reset won't undo it
