    Yeah OK. A bit of a slog. Some interesting new details. But the writing style is not my cup of tea.

      The random YELLING throughout the text doesn’t make me feel inclined to take it seriously. That’s not necessarily a criticism of the content either, so agreed on your point.

    Why he is complaining about Livejournal. It is most of uncensored media around, it just runs, it seems to be no moderation. Comparing to FB/Twiter/Reddit it is free. Just look on all these pro-Ukraine posts which are there.
