U.S. tech giant Google has paid Russia more than 32 million roubles ($455,079) in fines for failing to delete content Moscow deems illegal, the company and a Russian lawmaker said after talks on Monday.

Sorry, I missed that.
$455K? Google management probably spends that on daily lunch.
Want their attention? Add three zeros.
No worries. Goggle will just install more pop up ads.
I believe this slow bureaucracy in Russia is normal and accepted by Russians, so this is going to be an ongoing process that slowly continues imposing and raising the fines on Google, and simply will never stop until Google fully complies.
