>The founder is Russian who had his billion dollar business (vk.com) stolen by the russian government, left the country and acquired cirizenship elsewhere it's a pretty good indicator that he is not a putin's stooge >most of the engineering team is Russian. The founder visits Russia regularly. I assume their non-resident Russian engineers visit Russia too.Most of their user base is Russian. is Microsoft an Indian company? the CEO is Indian, half the engineers are Indian, yada yada yada >And they have an agreement with the Russian government not to be blocked if they cooperate on combatting terrorism.
