Splunk ?
Sounds like the adults only version of Kerplunk.
Splunk does a bunk from Russia: No software and services for you, Putin!
Big data analytics outfit Splunk will no longer be big in Russia after the company confirmed plans to stop selling its wares there.

It's a play on Spelunking.

They even have (or had) a t-shirt with a cartoon figure Spelunker in a cave which is made up of undecipherable data, but where the spelunkers torch shines the data in the beam is comprehensible.

Software is a diminishing business in Russia for government business
The government passed a law that any software bought from outside of Russia vendors must be justified annually as to why no in Russia company can provide such software to the government.
As such, there are lots of small companies that essentially sell similar products to things like Splunk, Oracle, etc. to take advantage of the government business.

Sounds draconian, but shrewd move to build home developed products, if did this and used their brains, they'd sell abroad (Not sure why, by Eastern European countries seem to have a good knack for producing some quality developers and engineers)

Unintended Consequences Leading to Unexpected Opportunities
Splunk is all about slurping vast amounts of machine-generated data and analysing it, with AI and machine learning tools giving customers "actionable and predictive insights". Unless, it would seem, those customers are in Russia.
Thus leaving an actionable and predictive insightful services vacuum to attract viable and valuable competitors into the Applications and Programming of AIdDevelopment Spaces ..... which be as your Virtually Real Places which Media and News Present in Sight and Sound showing the Current Stages of ......... well, it would be nice to think there be at least One Solitary Soul in an Office of Strategic Services for Future Perfect AIMasterPlans with Exciting Earth-shattering Views to Phish and Phorm/Remotely BetaTest and Deploy ...... Present to AIMainStream Media for Slow and Sure Percolation to the Unwitting Masses.
Something which currently one is led to believe, the East Excel and are Excellent at. They certainly distract all the attention away from suddenly unfolding catastrophic breaches of security with failed protection systems at homes and bases in and for the West.
