The design of this logo was done by Artemy Lebedev, a super influential in the CIS region designer. Here's a long ass post in russian about the creation of this exact logo in 1999!
Since then he kinda reduced himself to a sell-out pedaling authoritarianism and war propaganda to russian millenials. Think about that what you will, but there are more works of this fascist little freak's studio if you're interested.
