JetBrains, an international company that develops interfaces for programming in Java, Kotlin, C#, F#, C++, Ruby, Python, PHP, and JavaScript, no longer allows Russian users to download one of its most popular products, IntelliJ IDEA.
Users from Russia have tried to download the app in real time, but they received a message saying “Unavailable for legal reasons. We are sorry, but we are currently unable to provide you with our products or services due to export control regulations”.
JetBrains was founded in 2000 by three Russian developers, Sergei Dmitriev, Valentin Kipyatkov, and Eugene Belyaev, initially known as IntelliJ Software.
In 2022, the company began to withdraw from Russia and sold its office in St. Petersburg. Today, JetBrains has over 11 million users who use its tools.
