Microsoft Rus LLC Files for Bankruptcy Due to Russian Government Scrutiny

Microsoft Rus LLC has declared bankruptcy in Russia, citing increasing pressure from the government. This decision marks a significant shift in the tech landscape and follows similar actions by other international companies. The announcement comes amid heightened scrutiny of foreign companies operating within Russia, which saw Microsoft close branches and scale back operations. This move, mirroring Google’s withdrawal from Russia in 2022, reflects the challenging business environment for tech firms in the country. Despite continued profits, government pressure has made maintaining operations unsustainable.
