Well, what I am against is that you paint Russia and China with the same colour. I do not know ANY examples when my (Russian) government is blocking access to foreign IP addresses. Give me an example or make accurate statement. Otherwise it looks the same as Soviet-era retired cold war enthusuast moaning to his grandsons about the "capitalist atrocities of the West". Equally groundless and far-fetched. Unless you give me the proof I consider that "IP blocking" to be so.
I was just in Russia last week and used several Internet cafes, which one can find in many places in the big cities (for about $1.50-2.00 an hour). They all look to me to be privately owned and managed, and I never had the slightest thought anything was being redirected or blocked. I even got on FreePrepublic.com every day just to read the news, and certainly this site would be a prime target of targeting of such dictatorships as some people envision! (Not only that but it is the easiest thing to get a private apartment like ours on Novy Arbat, many of which have in-home broadband, which I could have used had I felt like lugging a laptop 5,000 miles.)
I really think the people who are the most vociferous ones asking "can anything good come from Russia" ought to visit Russia at least once in their lives under current-day conditions and really listen to what is happening. Germany is no longer under Nazi dictatorship, the Vikings are not still raiding England, Russia is not still under Communist dictatorship. Things change.
