Crunchbase and East-West Digital News are teaming up to cover key tech and venture trends from Russia and neighboring countries in Eastern Europe. Since last year, EWDN chief editor Adrien Henni has offered a regular column to highlight the most notable industry facts and trends as well as promising tech innovations from these countries.

Covering the second quarter of this year, the latest column highlights the large Silicon Valley deals which involved Russian-founded startups in Silicon Valley, Yandex’s initiatives on the NASDAQ, and Telegram’s settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Russia’s domestic events are also reviewed – from Mail.Ru’s and Sberbank’s continuous buying spree, to smaller deals with unusual international implications.
