Russian technology giant Yandex has reported a sharp surge in financial performance, highlighting strong demand across its core digital ecosystem and reinforcing expectations of continued expansion into 2026.

The Russian platform "Yandex Maps" has started blurring cemeteries in a manner similar to how it obscures military sites, seemingly to hide the extent of losses in the war against Ukraine.

Russian internet giant Yandex reported annual revenues exceeding 1 trillion roubles ($11.22 billion) for the first time on Thursday, following a year of major restructuring.

In the first half of 2024, Yandex, the Russian multinational technology company, reported a significant increase in requests from government authorities to disclose user data.

Russian tech giant Yandex plans to invest $400 million in Türkiye to localize its IT products, expand its infrastructure, and drive development in the region.
