     Names that I personally recognize on the line-up for Outline, that commercial (oligarch-run) techno festival in the Moscow area:
     Ishome, Locked Club (=Cream Soda), Слава КПСС, Rambal Crochet, Geju... which are all Russian artists.
     The only significant Western artist booked to Outline was Atom™ who is apparently an ignorant idiot. He also now seems to have been cancelled by Berghain (removed from the program for upcoming Klubnacht) for playing in Russia.

     @mook It still has, but a large bit of it has moved into the Russian anti-war diaspora with artists like Buttechno giving active support for Ukrainian causes.
     Not to forget the Ukrainian electronic music scene which is great and (musically) tends to have a bit more humour than its Russian counterpart.
