I can't believe I'm defending Yandex, but keep in mind that they sold off the Russian business a while back (to VK, if I remember correctly). Yandex RU and Yandex "everywhere else" are different companies.

So if I'm using Yandex in the US it's not the same Yandex from Russia?

Yandex search is part of the Russian division (I think, but don't take my word for it). I don't know how the services were split but I do know the Dutch arm of the company sold off a bunch of things to the Russian one.
