        It coincided with a major holiday in the US, and the blackout was for a relatively tiny section of Moscow. I would be shocked if there were similar dips in posts other times power went out in that part of Moscow.

        Hell we can test it right now, is there a much bigger drop in posts today than there was last NYE?

        That’s not to say conservative isnt astroturfed to hell, but the notion that its all Russians in Moscow is silly.
