#2it's so refreshing to see a company rising from somewhere else than the western world. Somehow it's almost too bad they chose the google style for their office it's not exotic enough for my westerner's eyes.
I'm a fanboy: since 2005, I have made all my employer buy some of their products, and when I have no employer, I buy some myself. (on a side note, I didn't know they where in Russia, I always assumed they were based in Central Europe)

Talent.
By being in certain countries you exclude certain talent because of discriminatory laws.
Russia for instance can forget about any talent that might be part of or supportive of LGBT. Not sure if Prague is better though, but at this moment most countries are better than 'state sponsored' national socialist attacks.

The Sales office is located in Prague, with a small Dev department. Most R&D is in St. Petersburg and in Munich.

We are working on an interview with Andrei Ivanov, JetBrains Chief Operating Officer, that will likely answer this. For the time being, JetBrains was founded in 2000 in Prague by three software developers: Sergey Dmitriev, Valentin Kipiatkov, Eugene Belyaev. The headquarters and international sales office has remaining in Prague while the company continues to grow.
In total there are 8 JetBrains offices, in addition to remote workers: http://www.jetbrains.com/company/contacts/
