As a Russian Nintendo gamer, I'd like to say a few words in Yasha's defense. Disclaimer: I have met him in person only once in the beginning of his career in Russia and can't say I'm a huge fan of his. My brother has worked in the Russian office of Nintendo for a few months, so I know a few things from inside as well.

First and foremost, the guy got the Nintendo business in Russia running more or less properly. The Switch and main games are easy to buy virtually in any place where video games are sold. When I wanted to buy a GC back in 2004, it was on sale in 1 (one!) place in Moscow, officially. With a whopping 5 (five!) games to chose from. The Nintendo 64? NO official sales at all as far as I know, or just nominal, impossible to come by. The GBA? Just the system, the games were all knockoffs. Like really, selling the system and not selling the games. It got marginally better with the DS and the Wii (the DS Light was even officially launched in Russia with a sort of launch event, followed by the Wii), a couple of games were localized, but the whole thing has died down pretty quickly to the GC state. With the 3DS launch under Yasha it got light years better. With the Switch, every major retailer both online and offline has a decent selection of the system variants and the games. They are actually advertised on TV and promoted in the Internet. Major titles are getting localized into Russian. The eShop and the Switch firmware are localized. Yes, it's nothing compared to Japan or to the West, but it's a mountain huge progress in less than 10 years.

Then we should understand that Nintendo is a Japanese company, run in a very Japanese style. I myself work in the Russian local entity of another Japanese company very similar in management style. Boss yelling (yep, we are talking about Japanese guys yelling at Japanese guys as well) is absolutely normal for the Asian corporate culture. 2/3 of what has been said about Yasha's management style is not about Yasha, but about how a big, conservative Japanese company is run. I can bet my money on Yasha's bosses endorsing this style of management. Mind you, there's no Nintendo of Russia, it's Nintendo of Europe's regional office. And Nintendo of Europe management is still very Japanese.

Then, let's not be whining millennials. A boss yelling at you? So what? The wages in Nintendo of Russia (let's call it that way for the sake of simplicity) are 1.5 higher compared to the market average. Japanese corporate management style is all about subordination and carrying out orders (almost literally military-style), creativity is not what is expected or endorsed. This mumbling about how younger people want to be creative and developing themselves is their problem, not their employer's. You are paid money, you do what you are told, it's that simple. When my brother worked there, employees somehow had the wrong idea that their "business improvement" ideas mattered for NoE. They did not. They were supposed to carry out their duties diligently instead of wasting time for "creative" ideas no one requested.

Finally, being an active member of Russian Nintendo community, I believe I more or less understand what it is like. Yes, these are true Nintendo enthusiasts, who went through everything to get Nintendo systems when they were not easily available and they, step by step, have created the soil for the current Nintendo development in Russia. But they are also very picky. First they ask for localizations, then they don't like them because of the Russian translation being "too creative". They don't like the "Whole game in Russian" mark on the boxes, so they import European boxes "to look good" in their collection. They say they want the eShop in Russian, with Ruble price and accepting cards issued by Russian banks, but they buy games in Turkish or Argentinian eShops, because prices there are lower (local currencies' fluctuations, I guess). So the community is very vocal and very picky. Outside of the community, "general gamers" are familiar only with most basic Nintendo mascots. Mario, Link and yes, Pikachu. Yasha is probably right - the very notion of Evee's existence is generally very weak outside of the Pokemon and Nintendo community minority.

I don't mean to say Yasha is the next Jesus and is doing everything just perfectly, he also seems a rather short-tempered and even somewhat arrogant person, but shaming him in the comments without knowing the broader picture is unfair, I believe. Given his achievements, my guess is that he is staying.
