If we are looking at America, then paid services bring in as much money as advertising there.

In the Cyrillic segment, 5 million; abroad, around 26 million. The largest of these is the USA, with 12 million.

In his own words, almost half the customer base is in the USA, and paid accounts provide as much revenue as ads do. And yet this update has completely pissed off a large percentage of those customers, and he doesn't seem to care. Interesting business strategy.

Many thanks for the translation.
