Yes, that was strange. I guess it's the Russo-centric inclination of the Russian sites who are writing the most about this case. What I found more confusing is how come LJ's new owner is said to be related to Putin, and yet it's now attacked by pro-Putin hackers. I mean, I can understand why Putin would want to put a hand on the main outlet of the dissidents, but why not just censor it once it's within his reach, instead of attack it like this? I think the truth about the purpose of these attacks surfaced pretty fast, and the outcry is mostly directed at the real culprit, so the Russian government's little strategy is about to backfire. And the Russian elections are coming next year.
