The article from the link does not provide any evidence to support the statement "The Company however is russian". Does anyone else have any info on this accusation?

Original link (without Translate): https://www.epravda.com.ua/publications/2022/07/6/688888/

Excerpt via Google translate, though the whole thing might be worth a read via Google translate or ChatGPT or whatnot:

> The majority of OnlyOffice employees are citizens of Russia who are in this country or hold positions in the Latvian and Russian offices at the same time.

> The developers of OnlyOffice in the Russian information space emphasize that the Latvian Ascensio System SIA is a one hundred percent daughter and one hundred percent property of the Russian company NKT. The open database of Lursoft companies registered in Latvia also points to a Russian beneficiary.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Only Office can run in a cloud-based capacity. Think Office 365 that is able to be self-hosted.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/LibreOffice_... There have been various efforts to bring LibreOffice to the web, but I haven’t tested anything in a long time, so I can’t say if it works well.

Why would you want to?

I don't know, let me use my Cisco switch to browse internet which was disassembled at FBI.

Be sure to put it behind a palo alto firewall which is by no means backdoored by the IDF!

They try hard to whitewash their affiliations to russia for potential customers while still not condemning the war. Jetbrains at least had the courage to do so even though state-owned institutions in germany are checking to cut their ties even with them. I would strictly advise against using their (OnlyOffice) products if you're in a country (eu, america) that participates in the sanctions against russia.
