A Brief History of Yandex

Founded in 1997, Yandex is often referred to as the "Google of Russia" due to its extensive portfolio of products and services, including search engines, advertising, maps, and autonomous vehicles. Initially, Yandex focused on its domestic Russian market and a few neighboring countries. However, its parent company, Yandex N.V., went public on the NASDAQ in 2011 and later listed on the Moscow exchange in 2014.
