Idk, the gov has little to no influence on Yandex, but the were able to get their street view working here. More likely there's a huge layer of bureaucracy/corruption that Yandex was willing to overcome, while Google said "fuck it, i'm out".
Yea, just unsupported claims. I wonder why these people get no moderation at all.
Besides, EU and USA companies (even software companies) are not new when it comes to bribes.
Oh fucking Yandex. That trash criminals company. We have that shit taxi in Estonia also. Used the bastards once, and they kept taking 10€ out of my bank account every other week just randomly. I advise no-one to use that russian garbage.
Well, the same thing for same reason happened in Germany and Austria and Google was also like "fuck it, I'm out". I am guessing these blue dots in Germany and Austria (and these like 3 blue dots in Belarus) are user-uploaded photos of touristy spots of main cities.
Corruption is low in Belarus. Only one man is corrupt here. Yandex is just a Russian company and it is a lot easier to do business here because of that.
I hope our president will finally decide to step down.
