## Caption

Yakutia, a remote, autonomous republic in the Russian Far East, is home to the coldest permanently inhabited place on Earth. It’s here that an unusual taxi app was started: inDriver is like Uber, but with haggling. It’s now in 41 countries and valued at $1.2 billion.⁠
⁠
It seemed that nothing could slow inDriver’s rise from a remote Siberian taxi service to a global rideshare competitor. Then, less than an hour after smachnyhalushki visited its flagship Yakutsk office, news broke: Russia had invaded Ukraine. ⁠
