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.
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.

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