    Surprisingly, the Netherlands:

    Most of Yandex’s services are based in Russia but its parent company, Yandex N.V. is based in The Netherlands.

      The Yandex N.V. “head office” is conveniently located in the third largest airport in the world, so people can pick up mail sent to that address without having to actually live in the country.

      Their headquarters are very much in Russia, and the Netherlands address is surely about avoiding political sanctions.
