Re: And so, history repeats itself

Well, "brand name Russian-owned" does not seem to be synonymous with "developed by Russian programmers": Russian oligarchs invested heavily into Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Uber, Zynga, Checkout, Alibaba, Xiaomi, ICQ, Groupon, Airbnb, Spotify etc, not sure if this is what you meant. Mentioning some Russian-born Sergey billionaires might not be quite fair either.

Imho listing large software companies founded by Russian tech entrepreneurs educated in Russia would do the trick, here you go, you might recognize some:

ABBYY

Acronis

Acumatica

IPG Photonics (not software but hey, cool lasers)

Jetbrains (IntelliJ/Kotlin/Teamcity)

Luxsoft

Nginx

Ntechlab (Findface)

Paragon

Parallels

Playrix (Township/Homescapes)

Plesk

Revolut (yup)

Tamosoft (Tamograph)

Telegram

Veeam

Virtuozzo

Yandex

Sorry Whatsapp (part Ukrainian), EPAM, Wargaming/World of Tanks (both Belarus) probably do not qualify.
