There's a lot going on.

Yandex is heavily funded by US and Dutch Investment Fonds (just to make clear who also profits from the corporate cyberpunk dystopy).

One of the founders and currently main owners of Yandex emigrated to Israel and criticized the war.
Now there is a plan to separate the Russian business from the international (Dutch), by selling 51% to Russian Oligarchs, to decrease the probability for sanctions while retaining the remaining 49%.

@earthworm looking at what happened to Mail.Ru/VK after the state oligarchy acquired them, this will be very very sad.

@earthworm @inex Very curious that the co-founder of Yandex only started speaking out against the war after the divestment of the international half of the company and the installment of Kudrin, a Putin bureaucrat and former Russian finance minister, as the CEO of the company. All after Yandex complied with every request from Kremlin to censor their news product, give out their users' info to the government w/o due process.

Almost as if the founder immigrated to Israel and spoke out against the war only to protect his wealth and to whitewash his Kremlin ties.
