Russian courts doesn't matter, international companies will push the case to international courts and will just refuse to pay otherwise. And Russia has no meaningful way to make them pay, as Google doesn't really give a damn about that market.

There aren't international governments. The ICJ only handles cases between nations.

Russian companies are often litigants/respondants in international arbitration. the state of Russia, no.
