    How much of this is actually due to F5 leaving russia, and no longer employing russians, due to russia invading and killing ukraine? He hasn’t been employed since they ceased operations in russia and instead “volunteered” on the project.

    Sounds more like he was forced to step down and take a different position, and F5 are using their actually employed staff to continue development, and make decisions.

    If maxim had just left russia and stayed an employee, would any of this still be happening?

      I understand and agree with your general point, but this idea that everyone can “just” leave their country, or hell, sometimes even the general area they live in, needs to die.

        Just moving into another apartment or home is a lot of work and can be stressful, I can’t imagine how stressful moving into another country can be…

          Exactly! I’m moving next year for accessibility and proximity to hospitals, due to illness in the family… Just moving to that next place and making it livable is gonna take a lot of time and monetary investment… Getting me to move again then would take said place not to be livable anymore, probably…

        I totally agree, its not simple to “just move countries”. I meant it as more of a hypothetical. If he had left, stayed employed at F5, would he still have the “lead” position, and be able to direct the security position that he disagrees with. Rather than seemingly no longer being employed, being a volunteer and having to roll with whatever the company decided because he no longer is employed and has no influence
