If this is correct, and it looks like it is: Good!
2022 has been a bad year for first Russia, then Iran and China and I hope they'll come crashing down, mostly because of the courage of Ukrainians as well as Iranian and Chinese citizens, but also because of actions like this.
Good work Jetbrains!
As a JetBrains customer, I’m really pleased to read this.
Sounds like this has been a significant undertaking.
Слава Україні! Excellent follow through on Jetbrains part!
I've read various reports of Russians getting a hard time in Europe (woman slapped in face on the street while speaking russian on her phone). Reminded me that Russians escaping Russia are refugees too.
A very satisfied PyCharm user. Doing the right thing even if it meant losing very valued folks and associated costs.
JetBrains is amazing!
As far as I'm aware, not a single prominent US tech company left the US because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
JetBrains, by any standard, is doing a great thing here.
Good to see a company genuinely caring for its employees. We idolise psychopaths who treat people working for them like slaves and lesser humans. Such companies and founders need to be appreciated and applauded. These are the kind of folks I’d like to do business with.
How many of relocated workers are really against Putin and war on Ukraine? Jetbrains true hero who only save his assets before sanctions hit hard entire shitty Russian economy. Good job!
Hope you move out of USA the next time that country starts a war of agression under the pretext of "fighting terrorism" or whatever excuse they come up with.

The employees that they parted ways with will probably build a less politically involved code editor. Good, more competition.
I really appreciate that they both have a strong moral stance on this and put their money and efforts behind it.
No doubt that sanctions play into it to some degree but sanctions also don’t require such strong words and actions, which I think really show how they really stand behind what they say.
