Also a golden shares owned Sberbank, the State-controlled Russian Bank, could be used to make sure that each individual investors buy votes on the Yandex of more than 25 percent.


Contribute Segalovich and Volozh that when students met, said the IPO would Russia on the map as the birthplace of a global technology company.

"We believe that the scientific culture of Russia so strongly that sooner or later as a company is displayed."


He said Segalovich, and celebrate Volozh IPO would meet investor flight back to Russia from New York to a punishment of two and a half weeks.
