Since posting a previous blog: Part 1 – Brother of Donald Trump sits on the board of a Video Gaming company that in 2017 are developing a game with Russian Developers; Prior had a division in Russia before coincidently failing to pay a Russian Company ;I have learned about several more projects involving Russian companies. 1C Company in particular writes several times that it is a partner to Zenimax’s subsidiaries. 1c Company is considered Russia’s biggest Russian software company has been traced to a virus ransomware scandal in 2016. According to a theinquierer.net 2016 saw a large increase in these kind of attacks.
Ransomware has evolved fast since 2013, and the number of attacks quintupled during 2016 alone.

I found numerous web pages where 1c-softclub often mentions a partnership with Bethesda. I have included some, but not all of them. Robert Trump’s company has several projects in 2017 going into 2018 with this 1c-Softclub
…in February of the same year 1C merged with SoftClub (the largest Russian console game publisher and distributor).[12]

If you go to the webpage ‘About’ for Softclub.ru it places the name Zenimax and its subsidiaries in a special border of its page unlike other companies it claims partnerships with.
What began with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, a plan to grow Russia’s software companies has been passed to now Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin has urged the growth of Russia buying Russian software. Before, 1c-Company ransomware attack of Ukraine in 2016, and after its attack on Ukraine 1c is the software company promoted the most in several articles.
If you notice in the very first post on this blog on the top of its page it says SoftKlab, the official site of the largest publisher and distributor of computer and video games in Russia, CIS countries and Eastern Europe.
On the bottom of that page it gives you the website: softclub.ru
The following game is just one example of many involving Zenimax and its subsidiaries companies partnering with 1-c Softclub. I’ve posted several sources below even one that mentions that the Russian government is helping to contribute in growing 1-c software economy.
Yet as Simon Shuster suggests that ‘despite rave revues from Russian officials, critics deplored the release of “Eugene Onegin: Devil’s Mercy”, which sought to provide a lesson in literature by rendering the hero of Alexander
Pushkin’s masterpiece as a zombie killer’ (2010). Shuster quotes Alexei Pastushenko, a spokesman for 1C-Softclub, a Russian game developer working closely with the government, who acknowledged, ‘of course if you want to pull in gamers, patriotism doesn’t cut it’ (2010).

A Russian Software Billionaire Takes on SAP and Oracle: June 14, 2017
The economic downturn of 2014 kick-started sales among bigger customers, who sought to cut costs just as a drop in the ruble made imports more expensive and President Vladimir Putin urged companies to replace foreign technology with homegrown products. In recent years, as his software has gotten more sophisticated, Nuraliev has begun serving clients such as the Russian Post, units of energy giant Gazprom PJSC, and local affiliates of Daimler, Ford Motor, and Siemens—putting him in direct competition with giants such as SAP AG and Oracle Corp. “Now, when large firms need to report to the government on whether they’ve replaced imported technology, it’s become trendy to say, ‘Yes, we use 1C,’ ” Nuraliev says.
A big advantage for 1C has been that it rapidly adapts its products to ever-changing Russian accounting rules, says Olga Uskova, president of Cognitive Technologies, a Moscow company that makes software for autonomous vehicles.

1C has grown into a leading videogame publisher in Eastern and Central Europe since being founded 20 years ago. Acquisitions in the past two years have led to the formation of parent firm 1C-Softclub Corporation.
The company, which focuses on games for play on personal computers but also makes titles for consoles, reported revenue of more than $300 million (US) last year.
“The Russian government puts a lot of money and effort into developing high tech industries,” said consul general Vladimir Vinokurov, noting a visit to Silicon Valley last year by Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.
“1C’s videogames are popular in Russia and we hope they will be popular in the United States too.”
On April 28, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko introduced sanctions against a number of Russian companies, including the hugely popular social network Vkontakte and the near-indispensable accounting software developer 1C.
