I've experienced more divisive content from western media itself than overt anti-west stuff from RT or yandex lmao.
Feel free to move to Russia if you don’t live there already and you’ll no longer have to worry about being exposed to western media!
I use yandex over google/bing. Works well for western censored content - however it does have a clear disinfo bent for english language searches. I still prefer it over google simply because it returns results like google used to in 2010 or so lol. Give it a go, you'll see what I mean.
Not sure if that's what you mean, but Yandex is great for piracy and otherwise illegal content.

Yandex search is vastly censored. See recent leaks for the list of the keywords they replace in search queries.
By "replace" do you maybe mean "alias"? In any case, the problem is that anything else is also censored. DuckDuckGo stopped indexing RuNet altogether and Google is... Google.

yandex and RT are the top of rus disinformation and anti-west/divisive content.
> rus disinformation Specifically Russian disinformation. 'Rus' is a much more neutral term which refers to the shared heritage of the Belarusian, Russian, and Ukrainian people.
Microsoft signed a deal in 2015 to set Yandex as the default search engine in several countries close to Russia. The article mentions "Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Ukraine". The list is not exhaustive, as I know about Moldova and Georgia. https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-partners-russias-ya... The list includes Ukraine! I've tested Edge with Ukraine as a Region on my MacOS, and it no longer appears to set it to Ya…
Incredibly damning of Microsoft if they were making deals after 2014 to help the Russian aggression against Ukraine. That they would still be participating in this deal is even worse.

Sure, but how often do you search for "old fart" and expect to see Putin? OTOH, their image search is way better than google's.
Living in Ukraine, I would love for the world to never see Putin again.
OTOH, I have nothing but tremendous respect for the engineers of the original Yandex. It's hard to overestimate how much they did for the russian-speaking world. I mean, they have basically invented practical stemming for Russian, Ukrainian and other close languages.
