Jetbrains is Czech and most Czech people would get offended by your characterization of them as Russian.

There’s quite enough companies and real estate in Czechia owned by Russians, despite even said Russians hastily changing their citizenship in 2022.

It’s sometimes beneficial to pose as an EU-based business if a purely Russian business was either sanctioned or considered too risky/dirty/shady to deal with.

So while Czechs don’t like to be equated with Russians, not all of them would quite sing „běž domů, Ivane” or share the feeling.

Sales, yes. Development, has been in Saint Petersburg not so long ago.
