It's kind of ironic twist of fate and disgrace that something like SciHub needs to be hosted/served from Russia in order to avoid getting squished and destroyed by rent seekers greedy hands.

- gdy 5y agoIf anything is a disgrace it's your russophobic comment. Alexandra Elbakyan, who created SciHub, was born is Kazakhstan (exUSSR) and later studied in Russia where she lives now. I'm proud that Russia is one of the few countries on the planet where American exterritorial law doesn't apply.
- trasz 5y agoI'm not sure the preceding comment was actually rusophobic. To me it seems you're mostly in agreement in that this content needs to be hosted somewhere safe from the US. It's just that you are proud - because it's hosted in your country - and the previous person is annoyed, because it cannot be hosted in theirs.
