Curious. On one hand, Yandex being the biggest IT company and inevitably close to Russian gov, an anti-Russia ex employee could do this in protest after leaving country and company since the latest war started (I know people who did). But on the other hand I heard Yandex was planning to relocate completely to an EU country, which seems like distancing from Russian government, and then it could be an attack by pro-Putin hacktivists.
- tryauuum 4y agoas a russian, when I read "Yandex was planning to relocate completely to an EU country" I feel that it's obvious that it's not possible for it to relocate completely. Yet, I cannot explain why... allegedly the fear of government is so big that in the beginning of the war management in internal meetings said something like "If we publish real news about the war then it will be our 5 minutes of glory, and then the company will cease to exist"
