I honestly do not know about this -- wasn't it based in Kiev at first?

According to Wikipedia “ JetBrains, initially called IntelliJ Software,[9][10] was founded in 2000 in Prague by three Russian software developers:”

My understanding is that they had the Czech business location with Russian developers so they had a clean public face.

I’d believe you if you insisted on Kiev based too, I don’t know anything first hand.
