Ask HN: Is JetBrains Russian? Is it safe to use?

JetBrain is company registered in Prague, Czech, however it was created by three Russian developers and currently is hiring a lot of people for their Russian offices[1]. There was also some allegation of malware being embedded in their tools[2].

In the light of recent development is it safe to assume that JetBrain products are not use for Russian espionage?
