Arkady Volozh, the co-founder of Yandex, the NASDAQ-listed Russian Internet giant, doesn’t like giving interviews to the media. However, he made an exception this week, following the recent settlement between Google and Russia’s Antimonopoly Service over a lawsuit brought by Yandex.
Speaking to Anastasia Golitsyna, a correspondent for the business daily Vedomosti, Volozh answered questions about Yandex’s plans after its victory over Google, about the effects of Ukraine’s decision to ban Yandex, about Russia’s new anti-terrorism Internet laws, and about the quality of Yandex’s news aggregation service. The online publication Meduza has translated into English the most important statements from Volozh’s interview.
