Let's be honest: Any company must comply with local authorities in any country they work in.
I'm pretty sure, that we can find such article about any major US based service and FBI/NSA/etc, for example. Same for major services from Europe. Because of this I pointed to ProtonMail before going further.
By the way, this article is about "Yandex's online payment service" (this service can be compared to PayPal), which is owned by Yandex only for 25%, other 75% is being owned by the biggest bank in Russia, which is owned by governance (just to clarify: Yandex is not).
If you need strong privacy, then go to ProtonMail.
Otherwise, try https://yandex.com. For personal domains you can use https://connect.yandex.com, which is free (with ads) for unlimited users or $3 per user per month (available in several countries) without ads.
I've been using Yandex Connect for quite long time (free and paid). They are very good.
Yandex Connect goes with Email (fully unlimited), Cloud Storage, Wiki and Simple Messenger. There is also an option to control domain's DNS, but it's optional.
This is driving me crazy. No proves was provided of almost any (all?) claims against Russia in the last 2-3 years. They just continue saying: "It was Russian", "It was Putin" etc. But where is the proves? Give me then and I'll stop talking about this.
Several years ago I used to support eastern position in all situation in Russia. But after accusation against Russia with no proves started to appear I become quite disappointed in the US...
I can give you my contacts or meet you anyway in the world, so you can be sure, that I'm not a troll, that was payed by Russian government. Just pay me for tickets. I'm just a simple family man, who works as a programmer and in less the one year I will post my startup here, at Hacker News :)
Yeah, but think about this points:
a) this report is based on words of the man, that run away from Russia after the Prosecutor's office started an investigation about his actions on RUSADA president position. Charges against him includes selling a restricted drugs. His sister was sent to prison for selling a restricted drugs several year ago, but the investigators wasn't able to find "her dealer".
b) this report is done by Richard Mclaren, who was one of the first people, that started to talk about such awful events is the sport world. So he i not the correct person to investigate such situation.
c) Richard Mclaren and WADA said that the have a solid proves of the accusations in Sochi report, but still they declined to show them anybody including Tomas Bah. I don't support any of conspiracy theories, but this one smells very-very bad.
b) Will the judge of any US court accept similar case with no evidence? If yes, then probably there is no any kind of problems with law in Russia...
There is documents, that WADA allowed Serena Williams to take oxycodone and hydromorphone (opioids), prednisone, prednisolone, and methylprednisolone. Her sister Venus Williams was allowed to take prednisone, prednisolone, triamcinolone and formoterol. This is very strong grungs, they should lay in hostpital if they need then for living (owning some of this drugs will cause a 14 years sentence in EU). There is also info about Simone Biles and Elena Delle Donne and they promise more :)
Why the hell US government, US media and pro-US organizations (ex. WADA) says that the Russian government was behind all hacking attacks in the last 6 month (maybe year or even more)? It sounds like a broken joke from 60s...
Yes, I'm Russian. Yes, I live in Russia. And Yes, I like my country.
