It's not a revenge of the the regime. A decade ago it was a different company, now they all are completely under the cap of FSB, it's basically a Lubyanka filial. It's serfdom all over again, not that strange it got leaked by some unhappy employee.

Reading up on the current situation with the company - yeah, I think you're right. :/

When you're judging them, think about the space of possibilities as well. Is any example of a Russian business of such volume not tied to the government?

I mean they were pretty much forced to sell business to the government recently. Coincidence? Maybe…

Its not only news service. Few services are left under the Yandex INTL. What are the services - ... you gotta know... they haven't published a proper disclosure, only couple of press-releases, which is alarming for a still part-public traded co.

I remember some sources that they've sold ALL their media services, and the INTL is only left with services like taxi and delivery.

Is this well known? Seems likely the leak was done by an anti-Putin employee or ex employee in revenge/protest against the war if yes.

I saw the forum post in this thread claiming leak happened back in 2022. This aligns well with the massive PII leak they had before so I would say there is a chance.
