A Russian company is using a Japanese word as their company name? I'm not seeing the issue here. If that sort of concept was out of place I could say the same about you using a Japanese TV character as your avatar despite living in the US.

Not as if this is surprising or something to get put out of joint about.

gaijin
ɡʌɪˈdʒɪn/
noun
noun: gaijin; plural noun: gaijin; noun: gai-jin; plural noun: gai-jin
(in Japan) a foreigner.
"in Japan his pale eyes marked him as a gaijin"

Gaijin (外人?, [ɡaidʑiɴ]) ("outside person") is a Japanese word for foreigners and non-Japanese. The word is composed of two kanji: gai (外?, "outside") and jin (人?, "person"). Similarly composed words that refer to foreign things include gaikoku (外国?, "foreign country") and gaisha (外車?, "foreign car"). The word can refer to nationality, race, or ethnicity, concepts generally conflated in Japan.
Some feel the word has come to have a negative or pejorative connotation, while other observers maintain it is neutral or even positive. Gaikokujin (外国人 "foreign-country person"?) is a more neutral and somewhat more formal term widely used in the Japanese government and in media.
