They actually have came along way since the sanctions started. Their first chip was equivalent of a Pentium era cpu while there latest design is now only about 10 years behind competition performance wise.

Russia like the rest of the world still needs the cpu to be manufactured elsewhere. Taiwan being the major chip manufacturer. Still waiting for the war of the chips to start, as computations are now a resource highly in demand and few places in the world are capable of providing it.

It's more like 30 years and are still woefully way behind at 350nm whilst the west is down to 2nm...

Russia develops its first chipmaking tool — outdated by 30 years from day one.

 
The first Russian photolithography tool, capable of producing chips with a 350 nm process technology or thicker, has been built in Russia and is undergoing testing in Zelenograd. This mature technology is currently used for some automotive and power chips, though it could also be used for military equipment. We estimate that the new piece of equipment is about 30 years behind the industry.
"We assembled and made the first domestic lithographic scanner," Vasily Shpak, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia, told TASS. "It is currently undergoing testing as part of the technological line in Zelenograd."
