Do you mean because he has a blog that critisizes the government? Do you think it should be banned?

Huh?? You don't like Edinaya Rossia though, or did I misunderstand you? What's the problem with having a blog that critisizes them?

My opinion is that politicians must be under public scrutiny. I don't know whether democracy is the right thing for Russia or not, but surely corruption is a bad thing from any perspective. I think it's good that he exposes corruption!

No problems with that. But he went further. In order to gain some cheap popularity he saddled himself with ultra-nationalists and attended the so called 'Russian march', but that's up to him. Now he calls people to the streets to repeat what happenned in Egypt or Lybia - practically, he incites an open rebellion agains the government. A man who pushes his own country into the civil war deserves only a piece of rope and a handy tree branch.

No, banning anybody's blog is not a good way of taking care of things. Everybody should be able to say what they want (just make sure not to break a law when you speak things) and he is breaking some laws. For example: extremism, violation of coat of arms. And I don't see why he shouldn't be punished for that, after all he's calling for "justice" then let's justice do the job
Making caricature of Coat of arms is completely anti-patriotic and has nothing to do with current government and I don't see how it would help Russian people to build a strong country

Corruption exposure is good but he's not cooperating with government but goes against it, thus I don't think his target is corruption
And yes, I know that government is corrupted but not every one of them, after all they just people like you and me
His actions are too provocative and it is an open question what they bring more: good or bad, for people in Russia
