Thanks for your reply! I hope this is the real reason of blocking. If that's not the case, that's at least not effective. Less effective than idk placing a banner in the header or whatever.

I mean I eventually read the article. Sorry for that. But we're at "Hacker News", sporting hackers ethics, aren't we?

		A quick look at your comment history reveals a relatively new account primarily used for shouting down comments that aren't explicitly pro-Russia. With that in mind I'd say it's safe to assume two things: 1.) You're not commenting in good faith 2.) The author's presumed actions were quite effective in spite of your disbelief.
