Hash algortihm created by the Russians. Produces a fixed length output of 256bits. Input message is broken up into 256 bit blocks. If block is less than 256 bits then it is padded with 0s.

Explanation:

GOST

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOST_(hash_function)

The GOST hash function, defined in the standards GOST R 34.11-94 and GOST 34.311-95 is a 256-bit cryptographic hash function. It was initially defined in the Russian national standard GOST R 34.11-94 Information Technology -- Cryptographic Information Security -- Hash Function. The equivalent standard used by other member-states of the CIS is GOST 34.311-95.

Incorrect answers:

BEAR - BEAR block cipher was invented by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham by combining a stream cipher and a cryptographic hash function.

TIGER - is a cryptographic hash function designed by Ross Anderson and Eli Biham in 1995 for efficiency on 64-bit platforms. The size of a Tiger hash value is 192 bits. Truncated versions (known as Tiger/128 and Tiger/160) can be used for compatibility with protocols assuming a particular hash size. Unlike the SHA-2 family, no distinguishing initialization values are defined; they are simply prefixes of the full Tiger/192 hash value.

FORK-256 - is a hash algorithm designed in response to security issues discovered in the earlier SHA-1 and MD5 algorithms. After substantial cryptanalysis, the algorithm is considered broken.
