  I don't know if this helps but there is a name Evgenii Viktorovich Sokolov listed under the offer page with a registered business id. Searching it didn't turn out nothing particular as there are many persons with the similar name. He is listed as self employed leading to ab assumption that this is a solo developer project.

  The provided options are useful to a certain degree but there is nothing too fancy. I tried something that appears to be a diffusion model and it provides comparable results.

  There are thousands of startups incorporated in all sorts of irrelevant locations that get made every year. Why does it matter to you?

  Edit: I'm not going to post the reply you typed for posterity's sake, but discriminating against people who are just as likely Soviet expats that have no control over the war is a silly way to "get back" at a perceived enemy. Yes, Russia is bad. Avoid AI businesses altogether if you want to avoid suspicious products and you'll have dodged a number of chargebacks in the long-run. Turning this into an opportunity to virtue-signal is a mind-numbing exercise in racism.
