The FSB likely has a lot of crimes to atone for. Still, suppose one of their specialists publishes something on data management or how to manage hundreds of sock-puppet social media accounts. In that case, I’d be tempted to listen and learn from a likely expert—unless you suspect that they think this article is not sincere and meant as a distraction from actual good practices.
Similarly, the CIA has done very problematic things, but the people who worked in the disguise department have a creative take on changing your appearance. I’m unsure when I would have to do that, but I’m always curious about how data is stored efficiently. And yes, like the FSB, the NSA has opinions about that, and those are typically well-informed.
Was their practice constitutional? Seemingly not, IANAL. But do they have good insights into caching video files at scale? Definitely.

When USA does things, it is for the good of society, democracy. When Russia does things, it is hurting people, bad for society.
Come on buddy, time to wake up and understand every country does things for its own good and whatever your media is telling about Russia is bad, it is because they're applying 3 letter agency brainwashing methods on to you.
Code is open source, if you read code you will not get under Russian propoganda.
Of course FSB has a backdoor to *data* collected by Yandex, but the code itself (as well as coders) have nothing to do with any three-letter-agency within Russia.
