I was under impression you don't work from Russia most of the time these days. Pardon me if I'm wrong.

I'd rather have no problems accessing Github without VPN than worry about Github saving its face in this situation.

I don't work from Russia and I want Github to be blocked in Russia.

How would that be helpful to anyone?

Russia is doomed to fail and I want it to happen as soon as possible, to have a probably better country

The whole story is nothing more than mutual trolling :)
