Most of the people I knew who used to sit in St Petersburg back in the day when I worked at JetBrains are now somewhere more western. They have a pretty significant office in Munich, for instance.

I don't know if their office in St Petersburg is still operating, since they claimed to stop sales and R&D activities in Russia: https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2022/03/11/jetbrains-stateme...

... making it even more impressive that they have taken a public stance against the war!

Absolutely. I'm still surprised that they are continuing with the business.

>Their main dev center used to be Sankt Petersburg

Is it still true? There were news of them selling their properties in St.Petersburg.

Their offices in Moscow (Capital of Russia. Largest city), Saint Petersburg (Second largest city in Russia) and Novosibirsk (Third largest city in Russia) were suspended indefinitely in March 2022[1]

They are moving out from Russia as fast as they can, but unfortunately it takes time.
