Dear Colleagues,

Have you seen the awful news that the Duma is discussing a form
of censorship of the Russian-language internet?
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/ was blocked for several hours today in protest
of the discussions. Check out this report:
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/internet/3369004/wikipedia-russia-other-sites-protest-proposed-internet-censorship-law/


Would you spread the word? ASEEES and AATSEEL and other Russian-related
organizations should lodge a formal protest, also.

I'm shocked...
