I&#x27;m not telling you that you shouldn&#x27;t like the project, but likely you don&#x27;t want to have &quot;heroes&quot; like that. At least comparing her to Aaron Swartz is really bad idea in my opinion.<p>If you want source there is her comments on Russian website:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geektimes.ru&#x2F;users&#x2F;sci-hub&#x2F;comments&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geektimes.ru&#x2F;users&#x2F;sci-hub&#x2F;comments&#x2F;</a> (most importantly latest one)<p>She&#x27;s heavily downvoted there since most of IT-related audience in Russsia don&#x27;t support autocratic regimes. She call that community downvoted her is &quot;fifth column&quot; (which in CIS is term for political opposition used by dictators fans) and censorship of internet resources that support political opposition is good thing.<p>There was other case when sci-hub community made some poll on their social network page about supporing what they doing and then banned everyone who voted against. Sadly it&#x27;s harder to find source on this one since everything related to incedent is deleted and everyone posted about that is removed from their group.
