Server location and Google rankings?

Hello guys! I am just wondering if hosting server location can have a negative impact on Google website ranking positions? If, for example, my forum is planned to be in the Russian language with .com domain extension and hosted on the US server? I am wondering if a website will be found by Russian requests in google.com.ua and google.com.ru searching engines? What are your opinions about this? Thanks in advance!

geo-location only really matters when the language used are the same in the target country and the hosting country.

IF your site was in English (or American ) and the target audience was English speakers in Russia then being hosted outside of Russia would be a disadvantage.
Simply being in the Russian native language and where the target audience will be searching in the Russian language means you are NOT competing for space with pages written in any other language.

Don't get caught up in the supposed technicalities of geo-location if your site is NOT in the English language because you are NOT competing in the same space.
