You MUST be joking, right!?

you DO know that there is an entire parallel platform livejournal.ru , right!?

You do know that their main office is in Russia right now, right?
You are aware of the fact that LJ is owned by a russian billionare w. a shady past?!

The only thing the would need to #realocate#(in a leagal way of speaking) is to switch a few letters in a couple of countracts, and reroute us.
