Brisbane Insects
I have used Brisbane Insects as a reference site for many years.
(Brisbane Insectshttps://www.brisbaneinsects.com Brisbane Insects and Spiders. The Expression of our Love of Nature. Enter. Copyright2012 Brisbane Queensland Australia Peter Chew All rights reserved.)
In the last 48 hours the search engine for this site has been replaced by "Yandex".
Yandex LLC (Russian: Яндекс) is a Russian multinational technology company[5] providing Internet-related products and services, including an Internet search engine, information services, e-commerce, transportation, maps and navigation, mobile applications, and online advertising.[6][2] It primarily serves audiences in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States of the former Soviet Union,[7] and has more than 30 offices worldwide.[8]
Is this appropriate In the current international political climate.
Or does the old adage that science transcends international/political boundaries apply?

As far as I can judge, Yandex in many circumstances opposes official Kremlin position and currently acts just as an ordinary transnational corporation.
I'm pretty sure that the page has either been hacked or they let things lapse; when I visit the page it isn't the search engine for the page that's replaced but the entire page redirects to Yandex.
I just found the same problem today. I hope the site hasn't gone permanently!
Oops, just saw this comment was a year old...I thought it was just a month.
