Russia fined Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - that’s 2.5 trillion trillion trillion dollars after the US tech giant took action against Putin's propaganda.

IIRC, the fine started at something like $1000 and doubled weekly. The fact that it's ballooned to $20 decillion (or whatever) shows that they did stop appeasing them, because if Google had capitulated the balance would've quit growing.
