        Read the expanded version in russian[0]. Page 71, 3rd paragraph, explicitly saying “I was a patriot and supported Putin.” And here is the source claiming she was attempting to join the Comminist Party of Russia[1] (though she ended up not being able to, because she wasn’t a russian citizen, which is a requirement) 0. https://www.sci-hub.ru/misc/alexandra/bio.pdf https://www.sci-hub.ru/misc/alexandra/bio.pdf 1. http://bilimveaydinlanma.org/a-robin-hood-in-the-world-of-science-alexandra-elbakyan/ http://bilimveaydinlanma.org/a-robin-hood-in-the-world-of-sc...

        Want to be a communist is not new. Even some French philosophers were or at least if trying to be. But joining Soviet Union then or Russia now … is that even communist ? Btw, based on that article it seems openness is ok in Russia or is it just another rip-off like communism-on-market. The experiment of coummunism by itself always failed. But mix it then you have to ask yourselves is it communism or market is an essential part to it, not just use it as a step. In brief where those science paper coming from, Russia?

      It's not a surprise at all that people doing extraordinary things aren't quite the same as regular people. The average same-belief-having person isn't going to do anything like make sci-hub because fitting in is their priority.

        More like it requires protection from one of the few blocks of nations resistant to extradition to the US.

      Idrc who she worships, she thinks information should be free. The parasitic corporations in the west don't. Rich people are more of a threat to the well-being of society than foreigners who see the world differently

      She technically identifies as a communist. Besides, she needs some protector to prevent being extradited to the Land of The Free & Home of The Brave. You saw what happened to Kim Dotcom.

      Her argument that Stalin is the Christian God is rather, intriguing – https://www.sci-hub.ru/why-stalin-is-god https://www.sci-hub.ru/why-stalin-is-god Not convinced myself, but to each their own.

        It's an argument ... it may also be an inside joke and more than a bit of a leg pull <shrug>. Soviet and post Soviet literature tends to be layered and full of oblique messages, many of these suffer in translation.

      Starting a panegyric to JV Stalin with words from IE Aleshkovsky is an editorial choice which shows AA Elbakyan takes CE Shannon seriously; I for one am looking forward to a future essay equating pirate site shutdowns with the 7 June (415 BC) early morning mutilation of the herms.

    Ah for that I tend to go to Z-Library. But to be honest i don't have much need for that kinda stuff

      Sci-hub is an OG source of journal papers and the source that Z-lib | anna's archive copy from. Love it | Hate it, either way the Alexandra Elbakyan story is worth a read: https://sci-hub.se/alexandra https://sci-hub.se/alexandra As a general rule pirate sites tend to not go in for founder bio's.

        > As a general rule pirate sites tend to not go in for founder bio's. I'm no Data Scientist, but would be willing to bet a small round that were we to look, presence of founder bio's and their domicile's extradition policies are not uncorrelated. [AFAICT there was a lot of paranoia on the Soviet side, and as a basis for that paranoia they pointed to all the Capitalist forces active in russia during the revolution, but in retrospect some part of all that foreign intervention had been due to a problem of their own making: they believed world revolution was only a few years off (and just maybe they didn't want to look inconsistent with their own ideology?), so instead of doing what any reasonable mafia would've done and kept on paying dividends on imperial paper (perhaps even after negotiating an acceptable haircut?) and maybe even paying lip service to IP rights, on both fronts they rather rudely essentially told all the now-former investors to "go to wood"] Lagniappe: somewhere in Abai's қара сөздері, he says something similar to "you know, it wouldn't do us Kazakhs much harm if once in a while we were to think of something other than how to grift more cows"; with that in mind: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/life-3 https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/life-3

  You haven't heard of the biggest source of paywalled research papers on the planet? It's a fantastic resource for when you don't want to pay 40 Euros for a single paper and you don't happen to be part of a university that happens to be subscribed to the right journal.
  - wkat4242 2y ago
    Yeah I'm not really an academic, although I did study at university decades ago. I'm much more practically aligned. So I don't ever read research papers :)
