  • The great Polish Sea -or- We forgot Poland (2006)
    After the second stage of Russian aggression on Ukraine in 2022 the Yandex maps have removed country borders entirely. It makes for a very interesting map: https://yandex.com/maps I believe it was in response to the annexation of territories/oblasts that Russia didn't even control (lol). - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

    Yandex maps still doesn't have any national borders. This annexation thing doesnt seem to be going very well, nobody in Russia knows where Russia is. Source: over 1 year ago
  • [Megathread] Russian Invasion of Ukraine, D+224

  • Map Data: False Assumptions Programmers Make
    I'm not sure if your question is rhetoric, but somewhere I've read that some map providers show it depending on what country the user (website visitor) is in - so users in country A see the disputed territory as belonging to country A, users in country B see it as belonging to their country, and everyone else sees this territory as "disputed between A and B". Governments of both A and B might have opposite demands... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Is 110000 rubles a month enough to comfortably live in Moscow?
    I would suggest looking for apartments on cian.ru and then looking at the panorama view on Yandex Maps (https://yandex.com/maps/) for that location to get a good feeling of what to expect. Source: over 2 years ago
