While I'm not questioning your statement - this sound very questionable, considering the number of Chinese tourists in Moscow every year.

>It's absolutely legal to put restrict your rental apartments nationality

>I personally trying not to invest into anything Russian, simply because that society is very, very sick

Do you as a gaijin invest in anything japanese in this case? It is not uncommon to see a "gaijins are not allowed" sign in Japan either.

While it is true that Russia has (and will probably have for a long time) some racism problems (just like superiority complex) - I wouldn't say it's as bad as you think it is (especially compared to 90s for example)

What were you doing in Russia if it's so bad?

There is a conspiracy theory that recent open sourcing of Yandex tech and to some extent even a leak is a preparation for global Yandex exodus from Russia.

You can take Yandex out of Russia... but you can not take Russia out of Yandex. Admittedly, the same could probably be said about any other $big_search:$nuclear_power pair. It's just that the other companies either can't or have no reason for exile. And so I suspect Yandex leaving it's home turf would essentially be a covert invasion of wherever they'd swarm to. Somehow, money tells me UK would be a likely target. So…

> a covert invasion of wherever they'd swarm to.

> an exiled Russian company.

Either you are exhiled or you are invading, how can you be both?

The github repo has 5 million lines of C++ code (headers included), 1.6 million lines of C code, and even nearly 1 million lines of Scala + Java code. We'd need some serious docs to adopt this technology.

The most interesting part of YT is Cypress. I'm particularly interested in how they make their master cluster horizontally scalable.

I believe it is still illegal 'hypothetically', just like hypothetically Russia has elections.

> They think it's their strength

Yeah, the delusion is serious

There is an interesting take that Russian part of the Yandex group opensources as much as possible, in order for the overseas companies of the group to leverage technologies without legal or financial ties with Russia. For me this seems very plausible, as for the last year they first did everything to distance from anything related to politics (e. g. they sold their news and their blogging platform to the basically s…

Yandex is incorporated in the Netherlands and the founders live in Israel. I think they will create several spin-off open source companies (like ClickHouse Inc.) outside Russia to continue doing B2B business with the outside world.

Unforytunately, only one founder, Arkady Volozh, is still alive. Ilya Segalovich has died 10 years ago.
