I agree. You don't do business in Russia without cooperating fully with the Russian Government. I'm fully on board with the whole "red scare" perspective and saying Kaspersky just got caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time in geopolitical arguments. Being realistic though, it's silly to think the Russian gov't would allow them to operate fully independent with no oversight. They absolutely have a hand somewhere in Kaspersky, the only question is how deep a role they are requiring Kaspersky to play. Kaspersky is a fantastic company with very well respected programs, and for a vast majority of its userbase, Kaspsersky products do just fine. I did find it entertaining that the founder said he didn't really care about losing the US market, because the US accounted for very little of their overall profits.
