Don't give up on LJ.  Please.

Yes, the service is lousy at the moment but that's because it's under attack. LJ is liable to such attacks because it serves as a major platform for the anti-Putin opposition in Russia. Tell yourself you're suffering (if you can call it suffering) for someone else's freedom of speech and bear your discomforts with pride.

But LJ is being attacked on Putin's orders because that's where the anti Vlad opposition organise. DW doesn't have Cyrillic services so is less under threat from such an overtly political attack

But attacks could come from any quarter. Including, of course, from sources nearer to home.
