I wonder what that means for google operating in russia. Since the demanded sum is so large, do they get their assets seized, like for example authorities sacking google phones? Or does this have absolutely no consequences?
Essentially nothing, Google Russia declared bankruptcy two years ago when the russian government seized their bank account. I am not 100% certain but afaik google has no operations within russia anymore at this point in time.
I imagine google operation in Russia is currently Ivan with a Chromebook. I guess Putin can nationalize it and call it a victory. Good knows he needs one (but the devil will collect)
