According to my Google Currency Calculator app, that translates to approximately $14.38 USD.
Best I can do is tree-fiddy
Totally not a joke-country you guys.
Totally normal.And the fact that Google didn’t pay them more money than exists in the world will be why Russia blocks Google’s operations in the country and seizes every bit of property they can get their hands on that they say was even vaguely related to Google’s operations. They didn’t even bother with a realistic number, because in the end they don’t really care who does or doesn’t believe them.
They didn’t start with that fine, it was just compounding interest
The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.
And regardless, Russia can’t block Google’s operations in Russia because Google isn’t operating in Russia since the war. Russia is trying to fire Google when Google quit 2 years ago.
they could just go for googol dollars
They’re doubling it every week, so a googol is only ~4 years off.
Meh. This is but a fraction of what the big media companies think the world owes them for piracy.
To everyone saying “this isn’t possible for Google to pay” really need to take a step back and realize that there’s always a way.
Given the amount of money we’re talking, it would only take a tiny fraction of that money for Google to deliver a series of small asteroids directly to Russia. Depending on the asteroid, and the conversion rates, Russia might consider the debt paid after a single delivery.
asteroid in leui of cash
What’s that number in words? Sure. I could use Google, but they just got fined by Russia for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 so can they really be trusted?
20 Decillion
2 x 10^34 for those people who like to use numbers to represent numbers in a sane way.
Being fined by Russia is actually a positive stamp of approval in my book!
What’s that number in words?
Per the article, it’s 20 decillion.
Maybe they meant rubles. I think I may find that value in my couch.
Oh wow, it was that easy all the time to fix a country’s economy? Why did no one think of that before?
All made up, just like the reason for invading Ukraine
I was going to say Russia must love humiliating themselves but I guess this is painfully obvious the past 2 years
It’s an actual court doing this… Lol.

Is it, though?
Well, a russian one. So not really but ehhhh
So, they do control whatever assets Google had within Russia - article said a closed up office, and 200 remaining employees laid off, to get them entirely out of the country
If they do attempt to look for more assets to seize, they’ll pretty quickly run up against any other country saying “were their sanctions at the time?”
Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow
Well to be fair, I do think it’s plausible that one day Google will indeed control all the money in the world.
Why does the article keep referring to Google as “The Chocolate Factory?”
The Register has been referring to Google as The Chocolate Factory for almost 10 years. As to why, probably because of google’s confectionary named Android releases, which they stopped at Android 10

Maybe because their company produces pure shit?
just tell them it’s in the mail, google.
Im picturing them sending “cash” with the amount written in comic sans.
