I don't know if it's much of a benefit, but as an outsider, I assume Yandex will essentially pick up the entirety of the Russian market for search, maps, and other tools if US services are blocked or frowned upon?

Advertising, for example, is a significant revenue stream for Yandex and the advertising market has lost a lot of businesses, so it's possible that the entire Russian ad market is now worth less than whatever the Yandex' share was back in February.

Search and maps was already theirs. However they got chance to expand in Yandex Phone space (replacing iPhones/Androids) and perhaps in desktop OS space (replacing Chromebooks and maybe Windows).
