Why not? It might be inconvenient to read, but it is an article about the censoring of that exact information. Celebrate freedom by translating it properly!

Willing to translate it, but the piece posted here is not comprehensible. Post a direct link and I'll do it. Also, original: http://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=41171 http://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=41171 Edit: it does not look like sth about suicide. Words in order: High-speed (adj), Train, Customs (on the border), Passage, More, About, (of) kilometer.

  The author of the text tries to be "funny." One of the options is "Start the third world war. Any red button in some army facility in your vicinity? Are you some president?" I can't imagine anybody will gain any insights from that "banned" information. kasthack links to the Wikipedia article that was an obvious starting point for the text, to which the "funny" parts were added.

    Thanks for the Wikipedia link, now we know what the basis for the text was. Obviously the author started from there and added his "funny" options like "start the third world war."

And having HN also banned in Russia? Is the particular banned information really worth it? It's a stupid "try to be funny" "how to do a suicide" text. Really not worth it, see the other comments. The inconvenience such things make to the users of the sites (country wide denial of service(!)) is much bigger than the possibility to change the opinion of some officials. If you really want to provoke, try with those with which you share the language, get something banned in the UK, as the example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_the_United_Kingdom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_the_Unit... I'm sure you can do it and also tell us how UK officials do senseless decisions. In fact, AFAIK, almost every European country has some form of internet censorship.

  > And having HN also banned in Russia? What's better - to have HN possibly banned, or to play along the tune and practically comply with the censorship? It's the latter why we have it. Should Twitter, Facebook and YouTube haven't complied the whole issue would be likely non-existent by now.
