On August 24,
Adobe announced "resource problems." So explained the closure of the Russian representation of the company in social networks. “We regret to inform you that Adobe has decided to close Russian communities on social networks at the end of this month due to resource problems,” the report says. It is published in the group dedicated to Adobe, the social network "VKontakte". However, on the pages of the company in other social networks, a similar message did not appear. The community will be canceled by the end of August.
The group was dedicated to providing technical support to users of Adobe products. New products and other company news were also discussed there. In addition, community members could share there their work done using the Adobe toolkit.
However, users will not be left to the mercy of fate: group administrators in the same message invited them to become part of the
global Creative Cloud community on Facebook.

On September 16, 2014, the Russian division of Adobe (OOO Adobe Systems) notified the Federal Tax Service of the liquidation of a legal entity. September 24, the company was removed from tax accounting. About this "Vedomosti" also
told a man close to the company.
The interlocutor of “Vedomosti” suggests that Adobe’s withdrawal from Russia is associated with an unfavorable economic situation in the world. Because of the sanctions, the company broke several deals in Russia. In addition, Adobe was not ready for the entry into force of amendments to the Law on the Protection of Personal Data, which prohibit the processing of personal data of Russians abroad from September 1, 2016.
