Isn't conceivable that a Russian company could sell these items without the involvement/knowledge of the Russian government?

No, it is not.

Moreover, not only the government knew, but all the press and every citizen of the "democratic, pro-Western and non-communist Russia".

There was no Russian language chat room or web forum which wasn't openly gloating upon a twenty bucks Russian gadget easily interfering with expensive American smart bombs, missiles and unmanned aircraft.

I'm not sure to what extent it is true about the miraculous "item", but believe me, the anti-American upbringing of the Russians wasn't changed a jot after the Communist party demise. It's like the Palestinian Authority education there... I mean, no company needs to cover up it's dealings in any anti-American or anti-Israel activities.

All they're risking is a strong... governmental encouragement.

Really? You have special evidence? Better head to local news media and show them your special knowledge. As for Russians gloating, well US media make such big deal out of it and if it was $20 dollar gadget that give US mulit million dollar system problems, why not gloat?
