Streebog
Streebog is a family of two hash functions, Streebog-256 and Streebog-512, that produce output 256-bit or 512-bit hash respectively from a bit string of arbitrary size using the Merkle–Damgård construction. The high-level structure of the new hash function resembles the one from GOST R 34.11-94, however, the compression function was changed significantly. The compression function operates in mode and employs a 12-round AES-like cipher.
The function was named Streebog after , the god of rash wind in ancient Slavic mythology,

Even a small change in the message will (with overwhelming probability) result in a mostly different hash, due to the . For example, adding a period to the end of the sentence:

Cryptanalysis
In 2013 the Russian Technical Committee for Standardization “Cryptography and Security Mechanisms” (TC 26) with the participation of Academy of Cryptography of the Russian Federation declared an open competition for cryptanalysis of Streebog hash function, which attracted the international attention to the function.
Ma, et al, describe a that takes 2496 time and 264 memory or 2504 time and 211 memory to find a single preimage of GOST-512 reduced to 6 rounds. They also describe a collision attack with 2181 and 264 memory requirement in the same paper.
Guo, et al, describe a on full Streebog-512 with total time complexity equivalent to 2266 compression function evaluations, if the message has more than 2259 blocks.
AlTawy and Youssef published an attack to a modified version of Streebog with different round constants. While this attack may not have a direct impact on the security of the original Streebog hash function, it raised a question about the origin of the used parameters in the function. The designers published a paper explaining that these are pseudorandom constants generated with Streebog-like hash function, provided with 12 different natural language input messages.
AlTawy, et al, found 5-round free-start collision and a 7.75 free-start near collision for the internal cipher with complexities 28 and 240, respectively, as well as attacks on the compression function with 7.75 round semi free-start collision with time complexity 2184 and memory complexity 28, 8.75 and 9.75 round semi free-start near collisions with time complexities 2120 and 2196, respectively.
Wang, et al, describe a collision attack on the compression function reduced to 9.5 rounds with 2176 time complexity and 2128 memory complexity.
