DRAKON (Russian: Дружелюбный Русский Алгоритмический язык, Который Обеспечивает Наглядность, lit. 'Friendly Russian Algorithmic language, Which Provides Clarity') is a free and open source algorithmic visual programming and modeling language developed as part of the defunct Soviet Union Buran space program[2] in 1986 following the need in increase of software development productivity. The visual language provides a uniform way to represent processes in flowcharts.
There are various implementation of the language specification that may be used to draw and export actual flowcharts. Notable examples include free and open source DRAKON Editor (September 2011).
