Yandex, Russia's equivalent of Google, is publicly opposing a court ruling that bans it from showing results for a search term popular with critics of Putin’s United Russia party.

The term in question–Smart Voting–is part of an effort by the Russian opposition that has formed around the once-poisoned and now jailed Alexei Navalny to challenge the likely victory of Putin’s United Russia party in the planned State Duma elections on September 19. Volozh, the billionaire behind Yandex—the Russian equivalent to search engines like Google and Yahoo—has not been personally named in the court documents, but following the ban, a Yandex spokesperson told, “We don’t agree with the court’s ruling and plan to challenge the injunctive measures applied.” Adding, “From the document, it’s entirely unclear exactly what we’re required to do and how it can be done.
