If Yandex can gain share worldwide, and branch into SEM/SEO like all the other 3 big players, it will create a healthier market and more challenges for existing technologies. Should be interesting to see how such new and emerging Search Engines from other parts of the world shape up the overall Search Engine Marketing Industry in the next few years. PS: It would be nice if people could keep their emotional, political, and personal views about countries to themselves on such forums.

Google isnt even #2, it's rambler.ru which was very much a Yahoo but is in the middle of transforming into a bunch of search verticals. As I understand it, the Russian economy makes it pretty hard for a startup to move forward without investment from big companies, because of limited access to credit, and a bureaucracy that requires connections to navigate.
