    I don't see anything about Putin on that page

      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.
