Useful link to the JetBrains blog from the Reddit discussion: https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2022/12/06/update-on-jetbrai...

From that blog post (2022):

> In addition to terminating all sales, all of our offices in Russia, including Moscow, Novosibirsk, and St. Petersburg were shut down. Work on the new campus in St. Petersburg was also terminated. All R&D activities were gradually stopped and liquidation papers for our Russian legal entity were filed in August 2022.

And a fair amount of people were relocated, Russian and Ukrainian both. I wanted to be mad at JetBrains for joining the “screw the closest Russian we can get our hands on” wave[1], but I’m not really able to because of that.

[1] A contemporary joke went (hope the translation works): “Durex has announced it is leaving Russia. When asked for comment, the company’s representative responded, ‘Not our fucking problem now.’ ”

My guess is continued heavy employment of Russian citizens is the problem. Risk of state putting pressure on their families and turning them may be too high for certain government agencies.
