I also object to this classification, but it seems to be based on the fact that they were founded by Russian founders and have a huge presence in Russia.
Which still doesn't make them a Russian company, IMO. The article is rather sloppy in other respects too, like the fact that Jetbrains isn't "obscure". Just because the author has never heard of them, doesn't mean they aren't well-known.
