Bingo ! Anything considered too politically sensitive in the west (you know what I'm talking about) can easily be researched on Yandex.

Wanna find dirt about the west ? Use Yandex. Wanna find dirt about the kremlin ? Use Google/Bing/Whatever.

Actually I don't. Can you give an example of something censored by Google in the west the same way Russia openly censors it's anti-war voices domestically?

(I’m not the guy you replied to) but Google has like 8 ad-friendly approved sources you may get news from, which are all anti-Trump sources. It can be impossible to find news stories unfavorable to democrats without appending the name of conservative outlets on the end.
