Adobe breaking Russian law?

In an article in the October 2001 issue of Scientific American, a
magazine contributing editor proposes that while Adobe Systems
brought criminal charges against a Russian programmer and software
company for alleged violations of U.S. law, the same fate may await
Adobe in Russia. Paul Wallich maintains that Adobe's PDF-viewing
applications violate a Russian law that grants users the legal right
to make a backup copy of a computer program for personal use without
the copyright holder's permission. He cites several law experts who
believe the chance of winning a court challenge against Adobe in a
Russian court is high.
