MacRumors posted a story that according to Reuters the Russian government has asked Apple Inc to turn over its source code to confirm its products aren't being used to spy on Russian operation

In a statement released this week, Russian Communications Minister Nikolai Nikiforov blamed his government's paranoia on last year's Snowden revelations and reports that the U.S. has increased surveillance on Russia.

There is precedent for what Russia is requesting, interestingly enough from Apple rival Microsoft. Since 2003, the company has provided its Windows source code to the Russian government.
