Doesn't help that the site is in Russian

What's the problem with .ru?

ansgri | karma 1157 | avg karma 1.52 · | 2016-03-01 15:36:54+00:00

The site is blocked in Russia citing national law. Wonder what they've published.

Yes, Russian websites.

ge96 | karma 1132 | avg karma 0.63 · | 2017-10-09 20:05:24+00:00

I think if I've got the name right, this site was bought by Russians and censored? Heard something about that in a podcast.

listic | karma 1445 | avg karma 1.15 · | 2019-01-13 18:38:05+00:00

I thought the site doesn't support Russia?

shapov | karma 143 | avg karma 3.33 · | 2016-01-05 19:21:47+00:00

Not to mention that some of the tools link to the Russian version of the site.

jampekka | karma 2192 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2024-01-13 14:12:37

.ru is double-plus-ungood.

A warning to non-russian webmasters?

Grue3 | karma 4020 | avg karma 1.9 · | 2018-05-12 19:54:28

Fun fact: this site is currently blocked in Russia by Roskomnadzor.

IYasha | karma 462 | avg karma 0.61 · | 2023-03-06 10:58:05

Ironically, this page is blocked in Russia...

vbezhenar | karma 14076 | avg karma 2.34 · | 2015-10-16 13:49:03+00:00

What do you mean? Those sites are available from Russia, as far as I know.

nostromo | karma 47008 | avg karma 10.15 · | 2010-10-09 20:24:18+00:00

Firebug showed me over 400 http requests just for that one article. I wonder how that guy from Russia a few days ago feels about this site?

ansgri | karma 1157 | avg karma 1.52 · | 2013-11-21 08:30:31+00:00

As others have said, we still has AIMP [aimp.ru]. They're clearly losing on not having a good English website.

jxramos | karma 2369 | avg karma 1.47 · | 2018-09-10 16:25:52+00:00

Is anyone else intrigued that this is hosted on a Russian domain? I’m thinking ideological honeypot, lol.

dangerlibrary | karma 3280 | avg karma 4.89 · | 2015-08-26 01:18:44+00:00

.ru sure?

M8 | karma 405 | avg karma 1.23 · | 2015-04-01 16:06:54+00:00

Wow, no need to overreact. I remember VK offered Soviet and Pre-revolutionary versions of their web-site as an easter egg:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VK_%28social_networking_website...

"Russian-speaking users can choose between the standard Russian version and two extras: a Soviet version and a Pre-Revolutionary version. Other than language tweaks (e.g. telegrams for messages and comrades for friends) these versions contain other easter eggs. For example, all private messages in the Soviet version have a stamp saying 'passed server censorship'. The pre-revolutionary version uses old-style Russian orthography. Both extra versions are also ad-free."

Amazon is naturally much bigger, but VK is not a small fry either.

You don't particularly care to view anything on .ru, but you're complaining that you can't open a website (which you'd like to view) which is on .ru. What a bizarre thing to say.
