Every time I write about Russian electronics, a lot of people appear in the comments, absolutely sure that Russian electronics does not exist, and all that domestic companies can do is to stick stickers "Made in Russia" on Chinese devices.
In fact, despite the fact that in Russia there is really almost no element base produced, a huge number of companies and even individuals are engaged in the production of electronics. Any device designed in our country can be called Russian, even if it is made in China from Chinese components. Yandex is a good example. Station. Without a doubt, this is a Russian product.
In Russia, burglar and fire alarms, leakage protection systems, automation and telemetry systems, smart home components, LED lamps and much more are manufactured.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult for an ordinary person to find information about Russian consumer electronics. Although all manufacturers have websites, in the search everything is clogged with ads and products that "everyone has heard." Small producers cannot afford to spend money on advertising.
For example, today I learned that a Shtat company is operating in Togliatti, which produces automobile and home alarm system, which produces probably the world's cheapest autonomous GSM-signaling system KRIKANA-PMT, the price of which is only 1350 rubles. Have you heard anything about the State and Crican? I’m sure not. And about the Kaliningrad signaling Navigard, which I am reviewing now? I think not either.
I had an idea to create a website where I would gradually collect information about Russian electronics for household use (I don't even want to aim at industrial electronics - there is a lot of it and I definitely won't master it). Make sections on the site (Alarms, Protection against leaks, Smart home, etc.). For each manufacturer, give brief information, a photo, a price and a link to the site.
I think you can also add products created by private craftsmen there - anything from the field of electronics, which is not illegal, is for sale and can be useful for private use, it will be quite possible to post on this site, even if it is soldered by one person at home houses.
Of course, I'm not going to take any money from manufacturers for posting information on this site (except maybe later on thinking about a referral program if the site becomes visited).
Such a site can be made in a couple of hours on Wordpress, the most difficult thing in it is the filling. And here I cannot do without help. If you, like me, are ready to promote domestic electronics for free (Belarusian and Ukrainian, I think, you can also add) and you have a little time - write to me. The task is to search the Internet for new devices and create product cards with a short description, price and picture.
Ideas are also accepted by the domain name for the site (from the free ones).
Well, are there other enthusiasts besides me in our Fatherland?

The main topic of my blog is technology in human life. I write reviews, share experiences, talk about all sorts of interesting things. My second project - lamptest.ru. I test LED bulbs and help figure out which ones are good and which are not so good.
