I think it's pretty ironic, considering that that's probably the one thing domain owners in Russia wouldn't want - the Russian government being able to seize the domain.
- vbezhenar 5y agoYep, Russian citizens seem to be between hammer and anvil. I'm personally not afraid of government seizing my domain as it's just personal mail and I'm nobody important. But for something more controversial like opposition website that might be hard indeed.
