I see you aren't aware that foreign companies can have local daughter companies that do business like any other local firms. And that Yandex has its operations smoothed over with the government long, long ago. Did you really think that one of the largest companies in the entire country, one of the leaders of the Runet, wouldn't talk about those things with the various agencies? Like, come into their offices and sit at a table with some of the agency's top dogs? Have you perhaps not heard of Yandex's ‘golden share’ owned, or previously owned, by Sberbank under explicit agreement with the government? Yandex is not a neighborhood cornershop company.
