Does Jolla ship with a backdoor to Russia?

According to http://www.phonearena.com/news/Surprise-surprise-Russian-YotaPhone-comes-with-a-backdoor-for-the-KGB-to-spy-on-you_id69930 YotaPhone is required to have a backdoor to be allowed to be sold in Russia

"The FSB will have access [to users' information]. We don't have the right to sell phones on the market in any other way - otherwise, the devices could be used by terrorists, criminals," said Chemezov.

Where is Jolla's backdoor? Does this only apply to Russian companies?
