<p dir="ltr">A Russian court has fined Google an amount so big that even the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov admitted to NBC News on Thursday that it was more of a symbolic gesture than money that would soon be used to bolster its war funds.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The fine is roughly $20 decillion — 20 followed by 33 zeros — or two undecillion rubles, which is a 37-digit figure.</p>

<p dir="ltr">In reality, it is far larger than the world's overall GDP, which the International Monetary Fund estimates to be $110 trillion.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Russia fines Google an extremely large number</em></p>

<p dir="ltr">According to the Russian news outlet RBC, the fine is the total amount demanded by 17 Russian television channels and other media outlets. </p>

<p dir="ltr">Their content has been blocked from YouTube, the tech giant's video platform, as sanctioned supporters of President Vladimir Putin's regime and its invasion of Ukraine. </p>

<p dir="ltr">The court that levied the fine may have a lengthy wait for Google to pay back.</p>

<p dir="ltr">According to Tass, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov acknowledged that he "cannot even pronounce this number" but asked "Google management to pay attention."</p>

<p dir="ltr">The company has not made any public comments or replied to a BBC request for a statement.</p>
