Government don't use Linux here at all - IBM intentions of 2003 didn't result in something noticeable. However, when Microsoft started it's "licensing crusade" in 2007 and proposed a deal to supply all government and educational organisations with licenses, The Ministry of Finance forbade that deal (too expensive). Instead, about $3 million were given to support development of comprehensive open source programs' package for educational and governmental needs. Educational version was developed in 2007 based on Russian Alt Linux distribution and now enters it's second adoption stage (first stage was limited "test-drive" in 3 of 83 regions of Russian Federation, second stage that planned up to end of 2009 is adoption throughout entire Russia). "Governmental" version as far as I know is still in development. my English is far from good, sorry for that ))) My 2 cents about Russia.
