that's because different countries have rules about what things can be shown with commercial satellite imagery. Canada for example has a way longer list than the USA does if that surprises you (potentially to avoid foreign conflict) which includes the max resolution and sale of imagery of taiwan, spratly islands, conflict zones in the middle east and more.

does yandex show you putin's mansion?

It looks like it does on Yandex maps if I have the right location. There's even a photo of the (apparent) pole dancing room.

But I've cut a lot of the tracking crap out for you:
