Isn't OnlyOffice Latvian?

7z is by a Russian freelance programmer indeed.

Both are free and open-source, which doesn't make them less risky unless you can check the code, but at least no money is going to Russia.

Ascensio Systems SIA seems to be Russian owned and only Latvian firm on the paper.

The other company that was with ascensio launching onlyoffice is New Communication Technologies, and it is Russian company

Edit: there was a longer writeup about it earlier https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39638530
