Google: "But he left behind a whole new generation of programmers, an entire school. And it sets the level of ethical standards for all of us." vs Yandex: "But he left behind a whole new generation of programmers, a whole school. And its ethical standards specified the level of all of us."
Google: "Tonight, he was gone." vs Yandex "Tonight he was not."
And RIP Ilya. Many people who knew him said he was a very good person. He didn't spoke in public often, did his work, supported charity and also had an active political stance. What a loss.

Truly sad; what a brilliant guy. And a real class act... None of the money-throwing antics[1] of some of his peers. Just a brilliant, modest dude.
Quite fittingly, the Yandex translation is superior to the Google translate version:

I wouldn't be so sure it's superior:
Google: "But he left behind a whole new generation of programmers, an entire school. And it sets the level of ethical standards for all of us." vs Yandex: "But he left behind a whole new generation of programmers, a whole school. And its ethical standards specified the level of all of us."
Google: "Tonight, he was gone." vs Yandex "Tonight he was not."

With zero knowledge of the source language, those two translations make me think that they were going for "Tonight, he is no more."
