Could you clarify what exactly is a "user registered in Russia" that you are banning? I left the country (because of the government), and now have american billing info in my account, but I still got the termination email.

Not living in Russia (moved because of the government oppression) apparently is not sufficient to not be hit by this ban, just having any russia-related information gets you kicked out looks like. Really great move by them.

Yes, a Russian opposition leader whom they tried to murder and then jailed endorsing officially approved Russian candidates in Russia is obviously an election interference

As far as I know this is the first time they cooperated with the Russian government this openly, even without any publicly visible pressure on them. Given this news they can no longer be trusted.

They are rigged, but not as fully as they were in e.g. Belarus. Russia is a giant country with 85 "states" and around ~100k polling stations, so the process is very complex and involves different voting and administrative cultures

It's absurd. I blocked all the outrage/whining filled subreddits in RES and now if I visit r/all/top for a month only 9 out of the first 250 posts are visible, everything else falls under that outrage/whining filter

People don't travel much in those places. During the summer a lot of them are almost completely cut off, though there's often small aviation flights from some of them, so people can get out in emegencies. The situation is a lot be

I appreciate you not wanting to demonize russia, but it looks to me like you just don't understand the situation on the ground. Getting your "other point of view" about russia from sputnik and RT is not the way to go. I agree

My impression of the Putin's press conference from last week was that he genuinely considers Navalny a traitor. He didn't even bother to deny any allegations about those FSB officers, all he spoke about was how Navalny is connecte

There is really no question about that data being available for purchase. This sort of stuff was being sold on physical DVD's on actual physical markets since the 2000s. Here's a ~2 year old BBC article talking about all this data

Bellingcat's Christo Grozev was indeed in the room, you can see it in the video above, and his reaction to the agent spilling the beans is priceless.
