It's interesting how diligently they wiped our any and all mentions of Yandex from their website, to the extent that Google struggles to find meaningful mentions apart from a few exceptions like [1]. Quite peculiar considering that just two years ago, according to that presentation, they were still considering themselves a Yandex project, even the link in that tweet is https://clickhouse.yandex .

For those unaware, Yandex is a Russian internet megacorp, think Google but in cahoots with the authoritarian government: cherrypicked news coverage friendly to the government, effectively a monopoly across multiple verticals (eg they bought out Uber in Russia), etc. In 2020, the year that deck seems to be from, they were already censoring their news feed [2] and tweaking search ranking to promote pro-government results [3] for years.
