The criminal case against the Dyer was initiated on April 20 on the basis of materials from the Center for Combating Extremism in the capital’s head office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After the appearance of information about the initiation of a case, the Dyer announced his departure from Yandex. “We have been planning my exit from Yandex for a month and a half already. But I think that after today’s news, I should somehow decide on this faster. From today I no longer work for the company (officially, I haven’t really done anything since February). This is my decision, I love and respect everyone,” he wrote on his Telegram channel.
The dyer left Russia. In July 2022, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs put him on the wanted list.
