MICROSOFT'S "DAUGHTER" HAS DECIDED ON BANKRUPTCY
Microsoft's Russian subsidiary, Microsoft Rus, has decided to apply to the Moscow Arbitration Court (AC GM) with a statement of its own insolvency. The company notified about its decision through the portal "Fedresurs".

The company is part of the American giant. She was forced to stop her work on the Russian market on March 4, 2022, immediately after international sanctions were imposed and the political situation worsened. At the moment, the company has a debt to Gazprombank. 

In January of this year, the credit institution initiated a lawsuit against the company, having claims of 90.9 million rubles due to unjustified enrichment. The formal basis for the proceedings was a deal executed in September 2021. This agreement was valid until September 12, 2022. According to the lawsuit filed by the bank, the company has stopped providing services since April 2022, despite the payments received. 

As a result of the trial, Microsoft's subsidiary received $887,000 in unjustified enrichment and interest charges of $62,000. The total amount was $949,000 (about 74.6 million rubles at the exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation). In addition, the arbitration ordered the company to pay interest for the period from April 2025 until the full repayment of the debt. 

Recall that the American giant officially left the Russian Federation in March 2022. He became one of the first corporations to announce the suspension of operations in Russia. The organization suspended software sales and stopped renewing subscriptions to the Office 365 cloud service for Russians. Other cloud services were also disabled. In the last few years, the international corporation has closed its branches in 13 cities of the Russian Federation. 

In May 2025, the head of state, speaking at a meeting with representatives of the Russian business community, spoke about the need to introduce retaliatory measures against Western structures that announced their withdrawal but continued to work in the country. According to Vladimir Putin, attempts by such organizations to continue their economic activities should be mirrored.
