')
We do not provide services "protection against DDOS attacks." They have never done this, they have never stated it, they have never advertised it anywhere.

The site server is fully operational, all data is safe and sound. Information that the data is erased is simply a lie.

As far as we can read the Internet, the representatives of this site have never publicly stated that the hosting provider erased / deleted / destroyed their data. Information about the destruction of data, most likely, appeared at a reprint of news by journalists. Well, we can only regret them, they have a very difficult job, they need to add more sentimental details to the news.

We regret that the political struggle in our society is conducted by such methods.

The source text of the news Lenta.ru

According to him, the site was closed by the company that owns the server, firstdedic.ru, and erased all data from it ( WHY ?! ). On the promotion page on Facebook, however, it is reported that the organizers of the event promptly saved all the information from the site and the maximum that will be lost is the data on those who registered during the last hour.

The site blocking company firstdedic.ru explained continuing DDoS-attacks, "which harm other customers," while not offering any solution to the problem. The organizers of the action intend to look for another server - perhaps a foreign one. About how long it will take to move the site is unknown.
