Russian court fines Google two undecillion rubles
See more at https://english.pravda.ru/news/world/161028-google-russia-fine/

Russian court reportedly fines Google 2 undecillion roubles for blocking 17 state TV channels — equates to $20.5 decillion USD, Russian media report

2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 roubles is still a lot of cash despite the current exchange rate.

www.tomshardware.com

Before delving deeper into the dispute, we feel compelled to look at the astronomical fine that the Russian court has slapped on Google. 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Russian roubles is roughly $20,541,679,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 according to XE’s exchange rate calculator, at the time of writing. Comparing the sums in English, we would say the two undecillion roubles are roughly equivalent to 20.5 decillion, five hundred forty-one nonillion, six hundred seventy-nine octillion U.S. dollars. That's probably worth more than our entire planet, in other words.

I guess google will have to raise the YouTubeTV monthly subscription price.
It could be worse -- they could have made the fine 1 googol (or even a googolplex) rubles.
