Descriptions

Executive Director and Deputy CEO at Yandex NV

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Since the beginning of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, Yandex has followed the information policy and censorship of the Government of the Russian Federation. The search results of the Yandex search engine have complied with the demands of the Russian authorities, showing only the sources related to Russian pro-war propaganda. Moreover, Yandex helped websites pushing false and pro-Russian claims about the invasion of Ukraine to make profit through digital advertising.

Tigran Khudaverdyan is former Executive Director and deputy CEO of Yandex N.V., having resigned from those positions following his designation by the Union. He remains among the top managers of Yandex, shaping the activities of the company.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

On 24 February 2022, Khudaverdyan attended a meeting of leading businesspersons at the Kremlin with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to discuss the impact of the course of action in the wake of Western sanctions. The fact that he was invited to attend that meeting shows that he is a member of the inner circle of leading businesspersons close to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, and that he is supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine.

Function: Former Executive Director and former Deputy CEO at Yandex NV

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Yandex is the largest technology firm in Russia. It brings a considerable tax revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation. In 2019, Yandex agreed to a restructuring that gave a “golden share” to a newly formed Public Interest Foundation built to “defend the Russian Federation interests”. Through the Public Interest Foundation, the Government of the Russian Federation is able to have a veto over a defined list of issues.

He is a leading businessperson operating in Russia and a businessperson involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, and he supported materially or financially the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. He is responsible for actively supporting or implementing, actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, or stability or security in Ukraine.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Tigran Khudaverdyan est l’ancien directeur exécutif et l’ancien directeur général adjoint de Yandex N.V., fonctions dont il a démissionné à la suite de son inscription sur les listes de l’Union. Il reste l’un des cadres supérieurs de Yandex, orientant les activités de la société. Yandex est la plus grande entreprise technologique de Russie. Elle fournit des recettes fiscales considérables au gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie. En 2019, Yandex a accepté une restructuration qui a donné une "action spécifique" (golden share) à une fondation d’intérêt public nouvellement créée pour "défendre les intérêts de la Fédération de Russie". À travers cette fondation d’intérêt public, le gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie est en mesure d’avoir un droit de veto sur une liste précise de questions. Depuis le début de la guerre d’agression menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine, Yandex a suivi la politique d’information et la censure du gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie. Les résultats des recherches effectuées par le moteur de recherche Yandex ont été conformes aux exigences des autorités russes, ne montrant que les sources liées à la propagande pro-guerre russe. En outre, Yandex a aidé des sites internet présentant des allégations fausses et pro-russes sur l’invasion de l’Ukraine à réaliser des bénéfices grâce à la publicité numérique. Le 24 février 2022, Khudaverdyan a assisté à une réunion de femmes et d’hommes d’affaires influents au Kremlin avec le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, pour discuter de l’incidence des choix à opérer à la suite des sanctions occidentales. Le fait qu’il ait été invité à participer à cette réunion montre qu’il fait partie du cercle rapproché des femmes et hommes d’affaires influents proches du président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, et qu’il soutient ou met en œuvre des actions ou des politiques qui compromettent ou menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine, ainsi que la stabilité et la sécurité en Ukraine. C’est un homme d’affaires influent exerçant des activités en Russie ainsi qu’un homme d’affaires ayant une activité dans un secteur économique fournissant une source substantielle de revenus au gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie, et il a apporté un soutien matériel ou financier au gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie, qui est responsable de l’annexion de la Crimée et de la déstabilisation de l’Ukraine. Il est responsable de soutenir activement ou de mettre en œuvre des actions ou des politiques qui compromettent ou menacent l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine ainsi que la stabilité ou la sécurité en Ukraine.
