Yandex was probably one of the best and the most innovative Russian companies, and attracted the best workforce. But it cooperated with Putin's regime long before the war. It censored opposition narratives in its search results and promoted pro-Putin content [1]. It continues to promote Russian propaganda even today (try any Ukraine-related search query in Russian). Now it's under the oversight of a Putin's man, Alekei Kudrin [2].
Sadly, Yandex is not a neutral company and is just another weapon in Putin's hands.

How do you think a company that has all its business in Russia should act?
You need to talk with Russians to understend their Zed mentality, they think God gave them the right to dominate half of the world, they will tell it to my face that genocide my nation is not personal, it is geo politics and Ruzzia must do it.
the way to avoid the Ukrainian war would ahve been if Ukrainians would ahve not been stupid and would ahave joined NATO with Romania and Poland, but the idiots still believed in brotherhood with the Zeds.
P.S I am using Z to refer to the Russians that are Zed supporters and to make it clear I am not referring to the entire Russian population, since there are a few educated Russians there that can see the truth.
