Russia fined Google approximately 20 trillion rubles (around $270 billion) in 2023 due to its failure to remove content that the Russian government deemed illegal, including materials related to the war in Ukraine and other issues. The fine was part of a broader crackdown on foreign tech companies operating in Russia, which has included increasing regulatory scrutiny and demands for compliance with Russian laws.
The fine is more symbolic than likely to be enforced, as it exceeds Google's total global revenue. It reflects the tensions between Russia and major Western tech firms, especially in light of the ongoing geopolitical situation.
