Kazakhstani (born in Kazakh SSR, Soviet Union) ethnic Russian stops mentioning “Russia” in his biography during a period of increased Russophobia.

More news at eight?

>increased Russophobia

Where in the world is there any "Russophobia"? The far-right in the West and around the world loves Russia and Russians.

The far right has (predictably, misguidedly) become apparent Russophiles in reaction to the mainstream Russophobia (the “own the libs” playbook).

I don't think that's that significant. But it does prove my point.

He is jewish. Just like the rest of the "yandex talents" that moved to work at Israeli office. They all get to be jewish when if suits them.

UPD.

Also, yandex news was (and still is) the pinnacle of russian putin propaganda. And the person in question was complicit with it. Even, given the fact he wasn't living in russia since 2014. He tries to whitewash himself because he is a sanctioned individual. And the protocol to get desanctioned is to publicly state he disapproves the war.
