Arkady Vorozh, who lives in Israel, condemned Russian aggression in Ukraine a month ago. Russian businessman Arkady Volozh, the founder of Yandex, admitted that for the first time in his life he hired himself protection. Volozh did it after Russian President Vladimir Putin wished him health. Volozh told about it in an interview with Bloomberg. It happened a month after the Volozh published an anti -war statement and condemned Russian aggression in Ukraine.

"I am categorically against the barbaric invasion of Russia into Ukraine, where I have, like many, my friends and relatives. I am horrified that bombs fly into the houses of Ukrainians every day," the publication was said. In September 2024, during a speech within the Eastern Economic Forum, Putin commented on Arkady Volozh's anti -war statement, calling it "forced".

"He lives in Israel, I can imagine that in order to live there at a good level and have a good relationship with the authorities, he is forced to make certain statements. He was sitting, silent for a long time, then decided to make a statement. Well, God forbid him Health, let him live well. Putin also called Volozh "a talented businessman.

" However, journalists remind that the Russian president also described Yevgeny Prigogine - the head of PEC "Wagner", who in the summer of 2023 staged a rebellion and led his private army to Moscow. And shortly afterwards, together with the founder of PEC Dmitry Utkin, he died in a plane crash. The newspaper The Wall Street Journal later wrote that the murder of Prigogine was organized by the Secretary of the Security Council Mykola Patrushev. "Not so comfortable.

I try not to think about it," said the Voice about the wishes of health from Putin. In March 2024, the European Union expelled Arcadia Volozh from the sanction list, and with it 11 more, in particular, the former Vice -President of the APC "System" "System" Sergey Mnnayts. Arkady Volozh created several software development companies before establishing Yandex together with scientist Ilya Segalovich in 1997, a year before Google was founded.

In 2003, Google Founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin offered $ 130 million for Yandex. Yandex decided to remain independent and work to - as the moist - to open Russia - to open Russia further to the west. "For 30 years we have built a new country, not just a company. And then you realize that everything is over," he says. "". In 2007, he founded Yandex's mother company in Amsterdam, which allowed her access to the world financial markets.

He says he moved to Tel Aviv in 2014 to focus on international expansion and start over the death of his co-founder in Yandex and divorce. The annexation of Crimea that year also became a factor. The Kremlin, which has been influenced in Yandex for a long time, soon began to have a greater impact on its news service and board - a step that was protecting at that time, saying that it would "protect the interests of the country. " "I have no misunderstandings with the state.

Just as I have no misunderstandings with the weather," said Wire magazine in 2017. In February 2022, Volozh did not believe in a full -scale invasion. He was engaged in unmanned cars, Avride, completed the investment process of $ 300 million from Hyundai Mobis Co. The project has never been implemented. Volozh regrets that he has not closed the news service before.

He now says that it took 18 months to publish a statement about the war in Ukraine, because at first he needed to relocate about 1000 Yandex employees who wanted to leave Russia. Volozh now divides its time between the Netherlands and Israel, where its new company Nebius has a branch office. On the sale of Russian business "Yandex" to the group, which included rich Kremlin allies in July, at a favorable price of $ 5. 2 billion, Volozh says: "I didn't lose everything.
