No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the repository's existing OAuth provider integration and the linked Mail.ru and Yandex documentation, then identify the relevant authorization and token-flow tests. Done means both providers support the required OAuth2 authorization and token exchange with passing coverage.
