Russia is no longer part of open market and it's not a democracy. There is absolutely no reason to make business with any of companies based in there just like there is no reason to work with companies from North Korea.
Companies from Russia like Jetbrains that wanted to work on global market left the country, relocated their staff and closed offices. Kaspersky choose to stay so his company can now work for local market instead and might be sell some AV to North Korea.

Companies that don't pass the sniff test are simply discriminated against - regardless of circumstances. The US is looking out at the world again and trying to influence it. And the common man is bombarded with western military exceptionalism propaganda. Why would the USA allow any avenue for its currency to flow into a Russian firm? It was only a matter of time for something like this to occur.

USA is democracy or just a shade of it to spread propaganda? > Companies from Russia like Jetbrains that wanted to work on global market left the country No, global market is not western market - they did it only to get access to western market because they have a lot of users there.
