Russian courts have ordered an American company to pay a sum that exceeds the value of all global assets.
At the same time, the amount of debt continues to increase and will eventually reach a googol (one followed by 100 zeros).
The Washington Post looked into the unprecedented case, citing information from The Boston Consulting Group.
Russia's claims against Google are related to the blocking of YouTube channels of Russian media outlets.
The plaintiffs demanded over 2 undecillion rubles or $20 decillion (a two followed by 34 zeros) from the corporation.
This sum already exceeds all the wealth of the world many times over. But the figure can increase to 1 googol. It was this number that once inspired the founders of the corporation.
The Kremlin believes that the "undecillion demands" are full of symbolism. Such a sum primarily emphasizes the essence of the claim, Moscow noted.
The Kremlin also hopes that Google will pay attention to this situation and reconsider its policy regarding Russian media.
