Working entirely on their own, several employees at Yandex, Russia’s leading Internet search engine, have developed an advertising campaign for the company’s various services using quotes from the Old and New Testaments and some Christian prayers. Yandex’s advertising copywriter, Alexandra Starodubtseva, posted mockups of the news ads on her Facebook page.
