Elena Bunina, a Russian-Jew who in recent years headed top Russian tech company Yandex, has stepped down as the firm’s CEO and has moved to Israel due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, according to media reports.
Last week, Reuters reported that Bunina has decided to step down as chief executive of Yandex LLC, Russia’s largest tech company that has been dubbed “Russia’s Google,” two weeks before her tenure was set to expire.
The report did not specify the reasons behind Bunina’s sudden departure from the company, where she had served as CEO since 2017.
Following her departure from Russia, Russian media shared an unconfirmed screenshot of a statement she allegedly made, writing in an internal company forum that she “will not return” to Russia, adding, “I cannot work in a country that is at war with its neighbors.”
....She wouldn’t be the first Russian figure to move to Israel amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On Monday, the Ynet news site reported that Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov had recently arrived in Israel and had filed all the necessary paperwork to become an Israeli citizen.
There has been an increase in immigration from Ukraine, Russian, and Belarus since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine on February 24

In Belarus people are even avoiding speaking Russian, giving a boost to Belarusian. The same in central Asia.
Putin is bad for Russia
Jewish CEO of ‘Russia’s Google’ leaves country for Israel
The clownworld jokes just write themsleves...
Israel is not fighting a war with Jordan or Egypt or Lebanon or Syria.
Unlike you in Russia, Israel has not invaded another country
I’ve been wondering about the safety of the Yandex site.
When I receive pictures from people on dating sites, I reverse search the images to find out who the picture really belongs to. Sometimes neither Google Image search or Bing image search can find the picture. But Yandex sometimes comes through.
But I doubt it’s worth the risk right now.
Israel wasn't fighting a war with Jordan or Egypt or Lebanon or Syria the day before the Six-Day War, peabrain.
Did the ol' cogdiss blow out a vein topside?
I'm not in Russia.
Are you really a Pole?
And Joe Biden is bad for the United States and Zelensky is bad for the Ukraine. They are all evil criminals and scum. Be careful where you are going with this.
After almost two decades of Afghanistan and essentially nothing to show for it, excepting loss of American treasure and American lives, time has a way of clarifying. About a month into the Ukraine/Russia mess, we are quite a long way away from any real perspective.
What just happened in Afghanistan has only armed the terrorists with the $85 billion plus equipment we gave them. Something similar happened when Obama’s “blunders” armed ISIS. Many in credible positions believe what Joe did(and Obama did) was on purpose to reset things they way they were going with ISIS. They are contemptible scum of the lowest order.
“‘I cannot work in a country that is at war with its neighbors,’ Yandex’s Bunina is said to have written before moving
Jewish CEO of ‘Russia’s Google’ leaves country for Israel”

Yup. Good choice. Israel is not at war with it’s neighbors. No sir s/
Good point!
Joke?
Well Israel has almost always been at war with its neighbors, including Syria Egypt Lebanon, the Palestinians etc etc.
Agreed.
Israel is fighting a low level war with Lebanon and Syria. It hasn’t gone hot for awhile, but when it does and if Israel takes major pre emptive action against Hezbollah in Lebanon, watchya gonna say. Naughty Israelis. How dare they invade another country to root out nutjobs. Nutjobs not too disimilar to Azov nutjobs.
You are now saying that you want to create a Palestinian state?
Other neighbours attacked Israel to destroy Israel. And you accuse the Israelis of being at war?
Congratz on being called a russian troll lol. FR is getting crazy as
Exactly and it is starting to heat up again. There have been increasing acts of terrorism which will only continue.
How is zelensky now bad for Ukraine?
You think Ukrainians are fighting for Zelensky? No, they are fighting and dying for their homes and loved ones.
If an invader invaded your part of the USA, you would fight to defend it, you would not fight for biden, you would fight for your loved ones against the invader
No they are innocent pawns stuck in the middle. Frigging Zelensky is a George Soros, Karl Schwab stooge. Scum of the lowest order who have brought more death and destruction to this planet more than anyone else. If the Ukrainian people were smart they would turn on him and throw him out.
BTW I would not fight for Joe Biden in any way or form. I would attack in both directions because the invader no doubt came here with his duplicity. This administration is just like Zelensky and is duplicitous with these globalists. I have proof and evidence within my profession of this.
