After February 24th, 2022, the world has seen an unprecedented wave of hatred against anything Russian, including its people and even culture.

In the IT world, this has concretized in a number of companies singling out Russia for the invasion of Ukraine, while happily continuing to do business with other countries who have also broken international law and caused hundred of thousands, if not millions, deaths.

Eventually, the war will be finally over. These companies will return to do business as usual, and hope that everyone will forget about their position, in the same way as hundreds of companies were making business with Nazi Germany during World War II and then just washed off their past as if nothing happened.

This page aims to maintain memory about companies who have engaged in russophobia, and also present companies which have, on the opposite, standed out as an example of solidarity and humanity for everybody affected by these terrible events.

If you know of companies which have either stood out in a positive way, or which have followed the mainstream russophobia, please open a pull request (if you are familiar with GitHub PR process) or just file an issue mentioning the company name and a link documenting their stance.

Here is a list of companies and organisations who have decided to penalize Russian users in response to Russia's intervention in Ukraine. A company is deemed to be “russophobic” if it has taken steps against the Russian nation, that it hasn't taken against other nations who have operated similarly. To make a concrete example, if a company has decided to leave the Russian market after February 24th, 2022, but has nothing to say against invasions by other countries (such as the U.S.A., Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc.), this is a case of double standards which is hard not to classify as russophobic. Of course, if the decision to abandon the Russian business is entirely due to financial or logistic issues, then the company should not be in this list (see for example the LEGO company, who left the business citing major force reasons). Also, Ukrainian companies cannot be defined “russophobic“, since it's their own country to be invaded, and one can not speak of double standards in such a case.

Here's a list of websites and companies who have reacted in a noteworthy way.
