Russian Doom is source port forked from Chocolate Doom (with additions from Crispy Doom) by Julian Nechaevsky which aims to provide a full and proper Russian translation of Doom, Heretic and Hexen games, as well as the setup executable and online help. Additionally it has numerous vanilla bug fixes, enhanced 640x400 display resolution, improved game palettes, removed limits and offers many optional aesthetic game enhancements.
Supported games
The following games are supported.

- Doom II
