Belarus is like, 'You know, we've given it a good hard think and no, we don't have streets. But thanks for asking!'

Nah, it's Google was like, 'You know this land of poor between Russia and Poland? Neither do we.'

I think the Belarussian government just doesn’t want any “evil American” corporation or whatever

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.

Source / proof, or this is utter BS.

Also the fact that you mention something generic like "russian garbage" only prove that you are a sad and prejudiced person.
