My understanding is they relocated the developers who were in Russia


Correct, though they also lost some who were not willing to relocate.


That's really too bad, and not fair to the Russian developers. More 'collateral damage' from the NATO-Russia conflict.


Many tech companies that had large dev teams in Russia have mostly relocated them. Acronis is another example of a company that was originally entirely Russian that is out of the market completely, and from what I heard, well over 90% of the devs relocated.

It will be very interesting to see the effects of that brain drain long term.


Ukraine is not part of Nato, but that would have been a good way to avoid 'conflict'.

What has NATO to do with Russian invasion of Ukraine?


Yeah, it sucks that Putin decided to invade a sovereign nation that was home to a bunch of JetBrains employees.

His war has turned the world upside down in a lot of ways, and I really do feel for the Russians and Ukrainians who he's dragged down with him. I have coworkers who regularly have to take shelter from his bombing campaigns.
