Lists of Russian Software to Boycott?


Has anyone made a GitHub list yet for Russian (or Russian funded) software and/or SaaS services that one can/should boycott? It's difficult for simple folk like me to determine the actual beneficiaries of companies nowadays. From the tech sector I'm in, I've heard on Acronis, CloudLinux, Parallels, Virtuozzo and OnApp being Russian funded.

Kaspersky would be an obvious one.

There is a whole wikipedia page dedicated to this:

I wonder at which point this current hunt for (civilian) Russians only drives them into the arms of Putin. To me it feels petty and ultimately counterproductive trying to exclude every Russian from the world community.

If you seriously want to boycott "Russian" software, why don't you start with this Sergey Brin guy - sounds Russian to me /s

CS-Cart should be among these as it is a very popular marketplace software used by several businesses to build and launch their eCommerce websites from across the globe. Here I am sharing some details about the company.

Ilya MakarovView - CEO Pavel Trubetskov - CMO Alexander Shabayev - Head od Sales

I suggest opting for other better alternatices like Yo!Kart (https://www.yo-kart.com/) , Shupp (https://www.shuup.com/)
