It runs on the frontend in vanilla JS, it should work 9 times out 10.(false negatives near the border)

(Not that thoroughly tested but should be fine)

Yes, punish the civillians of russia for the decisions of the global oilgarchs. I love the foaming-at-the-mouth war effort here.

Lest we forget the true words of Hermann Goering,

    "voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
    the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
    being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
    exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Not a good idea to harass people because you don't like what their government is doing.

Annoying them enough might push more people to protest. The softest option of the script is one alert() message once a day, that doesn't seems like harassment, the strictest option is to redirect you to a form on the russian government website, that's more debatable but that's up to you, you can also run custom code.

If you're annoyed/blocked while trying access a website you like because your government is oppressive you might have one more reason to protest.

Everyone can do whatever they want stop scolding people for every little thing sometimes people need the feeling of action especially when you are detached and helpless to current events.
