Ten days after Yandex confirmed a review of its operations that include moving IP out of Russia and selling much of the remainder locals, it has hired an ally of President Vladimir Putin to help out with the restructure.<\/p>\n

Alexei Kudrin, described as a longtime Putin ally and who resigned as head of Russia’s Audit Chamber last week, has confirmed that he will be joining Yandex to advise on corporate development.<\/p>\n

Kudrin was appointed as finance minister in 2000 when Putin started his first term as Russian president, and held the post for 11 years. He was also deputy prime minister from 2000 to 2004 and again in 2007. According to some sources, he is credited with helping the Russian economy rid itself of much of the foreign debt it had accumulated during the 1990s.<\/p>\n
