I find it easy to imagine that companies, especially in Russia, do not follow the regulations (if they exist there) and submit information to the Government. A lot of companies tend to do whatever they feel like and try and keep it under wraps (Enron, Arthur Andersen etc.), so why not military manufacturers? Knowing the way companies and organisations operate today, I could readily believe that they would try to get away with anything illegal or unethical if it meant profits, including the illegal sale of weapons. Again, it all depends on the structure of the companies selling the weapons as to how much the Government knew. I personally can't say I fully trust what any Government, Company or Media Outlet says about anything nowadays, so it is possible that the Russian Government knew and condoned the sales, and it's just as possible that they had no idea what the hell was going on in their own Country. Politicians seem to be good at seeing what they want to see and missing reality completely.
