Oh, dear! Just randomly looked at her description of Orange Russian 117, "This gorgeous tomato hails from the famous seed bank of the former Soviet Union."

No, according to Tania's Tomatobase, it is a cross made by Jeff Dawson in California, crossing Georgia Streak and Russian 117. Too bad it seems to have lost it's alternate name of Dawson's Russian Oxheart somewhere along the way, that might better show it's origins.
