It is noteworthy that this attack specifically targeted pages that branded themselves as socialist. The machine of political repression is gaining steam before our eyes, and we can only hope that the government will limit itself to blocking the VK pages and will not go after their administrators.

We may not agree with everything the admins and editors of the blocked pages shared, but we stand against censorship and the regime’s attempts to silence its opponents.
