Here in Russia we have our own PRISM since 90-s.

SORM is used for selective surveillance (by adjudication) and not even close for total monitoring programs like PRISM.
Can you elaborate on this or offer a link?

I agree that PRISM is worse since they spy on almost all the world Internet traffic and phone calls, but I wouldn't trust Russian Government to only spy with a warrant.
