        Obama's economic sanction against Russia is pushing Russian to buy cheap Windows phones instead of iPhones. As Windows flagship aren't out yet, this is the only possible conclusion.

                They also doesnt like lack of app collection in Windows world. There really isn't any reasonable reason to leave iPhone for windows, more likely people would trade to android.

                    Integrating desktop and mobile is the best way they could've got higher market share, and as mobile hardware becomes closer to desktop windows will become more relevant. I'd imagine if they are successful most of their market share will come from disgruntled iOS users who don't like the lack of updates in android, but would be interesting to see.

                          This is false, i don't know how kantar get these stats, but there's a lot more iPhones in russian than this shows.

                          Most of people in russian buy their iPhones from another country because it's cheaper

                                Nothing unusual. Windows phones are much cheaper than the insanely overpriced iPhones. Majority of Russians are poor, hence better sales of cheaper phones. iPhone is not worth the asking price and just waste of money. And if your monthlu salary is 300 USD then you think before buying such toys.
