So tell me where does your info come from?
And are you trying to say there are NO Ukrainian developers working for Yandex???
Before that, please provide sources that ysndey partially belongs to Ukraine and is not "russian anymore".
Are you thinking that anything that originated in Russia must be some homogeneous mass that can only be contained there?
My friend works for them. Guess where he's from?
And why is it such an unbelievable thing really? Is it not possible for a giant company to employ people from different backgrounds? Or does it make you feel uncomfortable knowing that some Russians and Ukrainians still work together? I'm quite perplexed it's even a debate at this point. There's nothing to argue about, mate.
How does the fact that it employs some people who aren't russian make it a less-russian company? I'm from Canada and at one point worked for an American company - did that make it a Canadian company? Your premise is invalid.
You made a statement that yandex is not Russian company any more and partially belongs to Ukraine. This is bullshit. Read Wikipedia article about yandex, it's "золотая акция" (golde stock) and who owns this "stock" noe, read about its official status of critical company for Russia. Then go to russian IT communities and read how yandex became more and more "controlled" by the government.
