It was to let .ru domains expire, and not issue SSL certificates for them. It would only affect .ru and .рф websites. Russians would still be able to get their news from bbc.com — but maybe not ria.ru We all would have been better off. There's currently little-to-nothing of value on .ru websites.

Yandex.ru has a lot value for western internet user.

You have three big search engines: google, bing and yandex (4 if you count baidu).
