The Wall Street Journal has published an article titled:”Google Signs Up Russia’s Begun As Agent After Bid To Buy Co.” Apparently, the Russian online advertising firm known as ZAO Begun will start handling sales for Google Inc. in the country.

Quoted from the article:”Begun accounts for over a tenth of Russia’s text-based advertising sales, making it the third-biggest player in that business after Yandex.direct–owned by the country’s largest search engine Yandex LLC–and a Google-owned service, Adwords.”

Begun’s general director Aleksei Basov commented:”We can make advertising on Google accessible for a huge group of advertisers and our large-scale network of agencies.”
