Google: Russia and ex-soviet countries

III – 4.4 Russia and ex-soviet countries :

Here it is just a personal feeling I have. Regarding the map I made on page 6 I would say that ex-soviet countries are still supporting a Russian search engine because accepting an American one as a standard will be accepting the supremacy of Americans in this sector.

In order to conclude that part I would say that there is in some countries an informal boycott but actually it is link to the nationality of the product and not its conception. For example Mac Donald's was boycotted in France and in other countries because as qualified as an unhealthy food.
