Dear people,
my previous message was really serious - as a pasioned collector I have been watching a certain scene (which exploits our collecting passion for profit) for years.
But since everything is published here anyway, maybe I should have started this thread here myself, well Carlium meant well and also mentioned me as a source - therefore thanks @carlium & sorry, I had overreacted due to bad experiences.
I appreciate your important contribution to the community!
The well-known Ukrainian board game publisher "Arial"
has a Carcassonne clone in its program since a few hares:
There are two editions, which differ only in the presentation of the covers
Both editions are in Russian (both editions EAN:4820059911227)
1st Edition: "Крепость"
https://gra.ua/product/nastolnaya-igra-krepost-analog-karkasson-carcassonne-ot-arial
The description translates as:
"Arial's Fortress board game, similar to Carcassonne"
And Arial is definitely not some unknown brand:

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepublisher/33972/arial
2nd Edition: "Крепость" (same content - but other box and maybe description - I have not translatzed the text yet)
https://www.yakaboo.ua/nastol-naja-igra-arial-krepost.html#media_popup_photos
Only the latest third edition has been localized into Ukrainian: For example the gametitle: "Крепость" is now "Фортеця"
This "carcassonne 2.0" is availlable fpr purchase directly from the publisher.

About the exciting Carcassonne edition of the also well-known board game publisher "DankoToys", Carlium has already shared our results and his additional great research with the community in the entrance post.

If anyone would like scanned material from the first edition of Arial, I'd be happy to send them a link (I suspect it wouldn't be legal to post this here).
With best regards
