My mistake! BIG apologies to Pavel, founder of Nimbus. When I first signed up something made me think that Nimbus was based in Russia but I've never had reason to follow up on it. As for the Russian (Soviet Russia) connection, Pavel is originally from Uzbekistan but is now in Cleveland. The company appears to be registered in Delaware. LinkedIn shows 14 employees and it does appear that some may be located in Eastern Europe.
I've been with Nimbus for quite a while and I'm very happy with their software. That's why I mentioned it as an alternative. Pavel has clearly positioned Nimbus as an alternative to Evernote and it functions very similarly. The pricing is very reasonable and Nimbus continually adds enhancements. It has several features that I particularly like, including some SnagIt type functionality.
I'm about to try out EN V10. I'm a little concerned given how many complaints I've seen but I feel fairly confident that I could switch from EN to Nimbus if I had to do it. Keep in mind that I am not a "power" user so I'm not as sensitive to functionality as some (e.g., I don't do notes on mobile platforms). I do take a lot of notes, though and I like the EN look and feel so Nimbus is a natural for me. I'm very happy with EN, as well, so I have no plans to switch. I use them both about equally but for different purposes.
Since I signed up with Nimbus relatively early on I've been with them through a growth phase. The company was founded in 2014 and I signed up in 2018. As a result, I've had some occasions to contact them for technical support and they've always been responsive and helpful.
