Update -this vaccine is now approved for use in Russia https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/russia-s-approval-of-coronavirus-vaccine-greeted-with-some-alarm-20200812-p55kss.html
The technology behind the Russian vaccine is based on adenovirus, the common cold. Created artificially, the vaccine proteins replicate those of Covid-19, triggering an immune response similar to that caused by the coronavirus itself ie immunization is similar to having survived the virus, but without its life-threatening risks.
The research has been funded by Russia’s sovereign wealth fund and the vaccine discovery process has been compared to the Space Race
