  I believe they’re the Russian Google + Amazon + Uber (joint venture).

    Yandex has stuff... Everywhere They do payments and payment processing (think paypal and square and more combined) They do cloud services (think a mix of GCP and AWS) for business. They do personal storage (think dropbox/gdrive) and email, and more. among more.

  Not really such a big deal - there’s no function for yandex to fulfil if there’s no economy, no internet - I give it a week until Putin cuts all international routing. Edit: see I’m being downvoted, probably because “that would never happen” - I think it’s very realistic that they will either shut down the internet domestically or they’ll cut all non-domestic routing - they want/need information control, and the internet is porous. If dissent continues in Russia, they will do it.

    To be fair they have quite openly experimented with shutting themselves off from the internet, presumably for situations like now.

      Hard to keep secret the fact you are practicing shutting off the internet...
