This is quite unprofessional of them. Unless the jurisdiction specifically forbids it, taking sides like this and kicking out their paying customers with little notice is nothing but opportune posturing that reeks of deplatforming. Don't take out your grievances on already subjugated population.

It's the same registrar that threatened to turn off our 3000 Alexa rank site due to a defective copyright notice on one of the 30 million user subdomains! Our legal counsel had to write to them a threatening letter to buy time, and then we fled immediately.

This is the site with the most horrible user experience I've ever seen. A site so stupid that it says we can't verify your identity even though I sent a recovery email with the mail I registered with. There really is no logical explanation for why they could be this big with godaddy. I hope it ends soon. Please do not use this site. If you are using it, stop using it.

While I'm not from Russia, I guess I have to move domains to the registrar in my country. It's just not safe to do any business abroad, when I can't go to the court in case of anything happens and all my property could be seized if someone wouldn't like actions of my government.

I think it's pretty ironic, considering that that's probably the one thing domain owners in Russia wouldn't want - the Russian government being able to seize the domain.
