    I imagine the sanctions preventing them from working on Linux is the least of their problems

    It’s even more problematic for users of Linux. Less maintainers.

      True, but that’s because Linux is kind of in a bind due to this war, but Linux probably benefits more from aligning with the western powers rather than fight for a handful of maintainers. Not that Linus would fight for Russian maintainers.

        Partially agree: money by itself do not maintain Linux. You need a man - willing and competent one.

        We’ll see, whether empty positions would be filled or not.
