Can you show us some evidence?

Can you please read my comment in full?

Evidence of what? I've said immediately below that it's an oversimplification, as you must obviously realize, intended to catch peoples' attention?

Or do you want me to provide evidence that:

- Yandex is a significant Russian firm (possibly biggest in terms of foreign investments in IT)

- Russian state, and security services in particular, can easily exercise almost any kind of control on any Russian business (and put those who resist in jail on made up accusations)

- Russian security services are highly corrupt, interlinked with organized crime, and pursuant of their own self interests.

For that you just need to read a bit on the topics. And again, not some conspiracy hallucinations, but the most credible sources of journalism.

Saying "Yandex = FSB (former KGB)" is different from saying that "Yandex is a Russian company. Russian companies rely on the Russian State. The Russian State is corrupt and linked to Russian security services."

Yawn.
