In 2022, Russian business experienced the exodus of many familiar digital services, and some were blocked. In addition, difficulties arise with cross-border payment for services. What can replace them among Russian services?
There is some choice, let's do an audit.

✅ Yandex.Documents -https://docs.yandex.ru/docs - excellent service

✅ VK - https://vk.com/ - found a new life thanks to the arrival of corporate accounts and available paid promotion tools.
Video conferencing:
🛑Instead of Zoom
✅Yandex.Teleconference -https://telemost.yandex.ru/ - the functionality is not so diverse, but it solves the problems of video communication.
✅TrueConf - https://trueconf.ru/prices.html- there are free solutions, with restrictions on the service and the number of participants.

🛑 Instead of YouTube
✅Vimeo (vimeo.com) continues to work and does not limit corporate accounts
✅RuTube ( https://rutube.ru/) - not very convenient yet, the video goes through a long pre-moderation
Antiviruses:
