The only person on this list that lives in Russia is Alexey Naumenko. So what are you yappin about? So far i also cant see that name on the new member list https://git.omaps.dev/org/organicmaps/members

mapsme: founded by Yury Melnichek, later joined by Alexander Borsuk and Viktor Govako

organicmaps: founded by Roman Tsisyk (completely unrelated to mapsme) and later joined by Alexander Borsuk and Viktor Govako

So the founders are not the same, but some devs from the old project joined organic maps.

Not really nice of you to edit the message after it was replied to.

Changing your github profile location does not mean neither factual relocation, nor changing citizenship.

yappin

Just adding context, because thir wording makes everyone think like "out of the blue, by some stupid coincidence one of the developers possibly seemed to be somewhere around some misteruous sanctioned region"

Then where are you getting 6-7 from? Those people could be Polish or Ukrainian or born somewhere completely different. They could have moved, changed citizenship, whatever. I dont know. You dont know.

They have russian state-specific latin names transliterations Except for Roman Tsisyk, there's nothing specific in name.

But most probably the guy from moscow got caught with russian ip which busted the whole gh organization. I don't think gh has any other sanctioned regions users id methods
