That's BS. Yandex is an incredibly strong player in Russia in the search space and Google is not outcompeting them either. It was the case way before Putin's political ambitions became relevant.

All in all, there are many reasons to blame Russia for it's government, but that's blatantly not one of them.

Not much, it is like saying that Google outcompeted Apple in mobile world.
