Government agencies have access to the same Yandex products and services as everyone else on the market. Our interaction with government agencies is based on the same principles and defined by the same terms and conditions (including pricing) as our customer relations. We do not alter our existing products or services, nor do we develop special solutions, on request by the government.

It is hard to draw a clear line between personal opinion and the company's official position on social networks or other communication platforms. This is why Yandex executives do not make public comments on political topics. This does not apply to any other Yandex employee, whose public statements can only be regarded as their personal opinion, and not the position of the company.
