And the fact that Google didn't pay them more money than exists in the world will be why Russia blocks Google's operations in the country and seizes every bit of property they can get their hands on that they say was even vaguely related to Google's operations. They didn't even bother with a realistic number, because in the end they don't really care who does or doesn't believe them.
They didn't start with that fine, it was just compounding interest
And regardless, Russia can't block Google's operations in Russia because Google isn't operating in Russia since the war. Russia is trying to fire Google when Google quit 2 years ago.
