Ask HN: Is JetBrains Russian? Is it safe to use? 4 years ago
JetBrains is not offically russian company (but founded by russian citizens). They have headquaters and are registered in Czech Republic, so company is in european legislation area. They have R&D centers around a world but mostly in Russia. The reason why they are registered in CZ are that they do not trust russian goverment and businness in Russia. I don't think that it's security risk to use JetBrains products, but I expect that delivering new versions and support will be postponed or cancelled for some time.
