I was just on a business trip to Russia.  I had an excellent hotel, fast internet, and some free time on my hands.  I decided to try one of my favorite websites (this one right here) over an ice cold glass of  Russian beer which I cannot spell.  403 - Forbidden.  Every single time.  This was, in fact, the only site I frequent which I could not access.  I tried it from WiFi, I tried it from cellular data, and I tried it from a couple of different cities.  Always the same 403 error.  Is this by design?

Deep state.  its Actually the fbi blocking the traffic from Russia to grm instead of Russia doing it.  They just want you to think it’s the Russians so that you perpetrate this line of reasoning on line.   

Remember jade helm, never forget!!

Could be that they, uh, disagree with some other site hosted by whatever company hosts this one. 

 

In any event, this is one of the things that VPNs are for.

So Al Gore invented the internets so the Russians could take us down without even firing a shot?

You know there is an advertising opportunity here. I mean who does not want to read something that is banned in Russia?

Had the same issue in Korea with both this site and our local club site. Could only get to both of them through work VPN. Which is a secure gov't VPN that blocks most photos on this site. Well, really just some of the photo hosting sites so I couldn't see the posted photos.
