Yandex "parent company" is in Netherlands. Kasperky Lab "is operated" by a UK holding company. They are one of the "sneaky" Russian companies who make money on the West but fully support Russian government. Czech office and such is to keep appearances. 1. Business/sales in Czech, eng in Saint-Petersburg. At least, used to. 2. They did not react on Ukrainians discussing their employee pro-war stance. They made sure to clean up all discussions on their forums and elsewhere. 3. They formally closed the offices. Employee are working remotely from Russia. There already was a SolarWinds breach. There will be more.

Solarwinds/Jetbrains association was a journalist mistake: https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2021/01/06/statement-on-the-story-from-the-new-york-times-regarding-jetbrains-and-solarwinds/ https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2021/01/06/statement-on-the-... https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2021/01/07/an-update-on-solarwinds/ https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2021/01/07/an-update-on-sola... https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2021/01/08/january-8th-update-on-solarwinds/ https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2021/01/08/january-8th-updat... "we have proactively reached out and spoken to the US Department of Justice, and have offered them our full cooperation in this matter." Jetbrains are not Kaspersky, they are one of the good guys, as far as my numerous sources confirm.

  Right. The fabled "good Russians". That do not support the "Putin war". They probably even put "support Ukraine in any means possible" on their LinkedIn profiles.

    Absolutely. Also sending money and helping with logistics. If you have taken a look at the said LinkedIn profile, you might have noticed a post which says that "not supporting the Putin's war" is no longer enough. We need to do something to help Ukraine win. I am not saying this gives an indulgence or something — I am not the one being bombed. Everything I do will probably not be enough. But it is not an excuse to do nothing.

      I will not resume this discussion here. You will probably see me on your LinkedIn. Feel free to reach out if you wonder where me, my family and my friends would like you to put your money.
