Today, at about 4 in the morning, the FSB of Russia officers broke into the server www.masterhost.ru . The purpose of their visit was to withdraw the bash.org.ru server, known as Bashorg, for an investigative examination.

Andrei Lavrov, one of the creators of Bash, over the phone reported that the prosecutor’s office brought the following charges against their project

2) Distribution on the Internet textual pornography and calls "show boobs!".
3) Destabilization of working time of system administrators and calls for the misuse of office equipment.
