Europeans will not start using a Muscovite search engine.

(Edit: R -> Muscovite)

Kagi is using it for image search and a lot of people do use Kagi

I do hope you realise that there’s subjective and then there’s “‘a lot’ of people use Kagi” subjective :)

That I do. I should have writen that after my morning coffee.

Is there a difference anyways between Russian and Muscovite? After all, Muscovites imposed their culture forcefully all over Russia as much as they could.

Not all of Russia.

And I think it is a reminder to the people of Dagestan, Buratia, Altai, Bashkortorstan etc that they allow themselves to be taken advantage of and killed by a tribesman from the plains.

The reactionary spirit among the Western technical elites never ceases to amaze me, it shouldn't by this point, but it still does.

It still seems very moderate compared to the fascist imperialist spirit amongst the elite (and majority of the overall population) of that other country..

You may be right? It was written in anger.

It takes a lot to admit one's missteps! Appreciate the gesture, as an innocent byreader

This is precisely why I lost all respect for the West in the last couple of years and am now cheering on Putin's propaganda that is deepening divisions in your own societies. It's obvious you'd like nothing more than to carve up our country and destroy our culture — which the people of Siberia, Caucasus, and all other regions have significantly contributed to. But you know fuck all about that because your knowledge of Russia is based on news headlines.

Now I really hope he's successful, so this will come back at you.

You held respect previously and this is what caused you to lose it? Or you never held respect and use whatever to feed you?

Didn't Yandex RU divest and its now EU owned in Europe? could be a thin shell of course.

No. Original owner of Yandex (Arkady Volozh) sold Yandex to a group of Russian investors (approved by the government) and left with small number of assets in a form of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebius_Group Everything else that people usually associate with Yandex (search, mail, taxi, marketplace etc.) remains under Russian ownership.

Thanks for the correction.

Based on what's being commented here - some absolutely will. And sitting on the eastern border of EU, that truly scares me.
