I asked on Mastodon a few minutes ago if Alternativeto.net was going to add any country fields or badges in order to make it easier for users like us to choose and already got this answer! Feel free to go boost favorite/boost their answer here.

    • Kaspersky
    • Yandex
    • ABBYY
    • 1C Company
    • vKontakte
    • (probably) Telegram

    And if you want to be extreme:

    • Parallels (American company, Russian founder)
    • JetBrains (Dutch company, Russian founders)

    There you go, the full list: there are immense sanctions and Russia is cutoff of the banking system. Unless you are in Switzerland, I guess…Actually, that’s a badge I would ask for: “non-Swiss”.

        Isn’t OnlyOffice Latvian?

        7z is by a Russian freelance programmer indeed.

        Both are free and open-source, which doesn’t make them less risky unless you can check the code, but at least no money is going to Russia.

          Ascensio Systems SIA seems to be Russian owned and only Latvian firm on the paper.

          The other company that was with ascensio launching onlyoffice is New Communication Technologies, and it is Russian company

          Edit: there was a longer writeup about it earlier https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39638530
