I've been getting reports from Russian users about BlenderNation being blocked. Apparently this is part of the fallout of the Telegram block - the Russian government has thrown an IP block that's too wide and that has blocked millions of other sites too. There's nothing in my power to prevent this, other than suggesting you use a VPN for your internet access.
Russia's internet watchdog has blocked an estimated 16m IP addresses in a massive operation against the banned Telegram messaging app that could set a new precedent for Russian online censorship.
If you're in Russia and you're NOT affected by this, let us know! I'm curious to know how widespread this is.

Moscow. Working good.
At first I think that you ironically talking about good work of internet access regulators :)
I thought open-soure software is kind of communist
Soon they are going to block VPN too
I live in Russia, this problem has not affected me
Working good. Krasnodar !
Yes, blendernation is blocked on Russia. And sketchfab too.
It works for me in Moscow. Even without VPN. Let's just wait before they make it illegal to use VPN. ;)

Crimea, Russia. Everything is OK even here :-)
Don't worry, Crimea will be de-occupied soon!
Please stand by.
no one can forbid you dreaming about it
Russia, Tver, all working
instead of accusing the russian's federation,I would know the reasons. IP's blocking is a kind of operation that its done almost everywhere in the world. Do you think that in the democratic USA it does not happens ? It's interesting to know the reasons of this,keeping in consideration that the USA administration is trying to delegitimate the russian's way of life because they are scared.
This is not the place for a political discussion.
I think nazis should be banned :p
BART SAID NO POLITICS!!!!!
;)
Trump-Macron-Elizabeth II vs Putin.
Apparently, such a massive blacklist broke the RKN's own infrastructure, so some addresses that are supposed to be banned are still functioning, and others are not. Apparently my ISP still allows access to Blendernation, although connection to Sketchfab does indeed time out, as is mentioned by others.
I turned off my VPN to post this comment, so I take this opportunity to say hi to comrade major.
BlenderNation ust in case, you must register in the VC, and provide information from your account
What's VC?
vk.com
Ah, thanks. I don't think I want to register there :)
In Ufa, ufanet has access. I think this is a temporary misunderstanding so we are sliding into a kind of iron curtain a little. Do not worry, it sometimes happens on the territory of our country. Just need to wait until it falls apart.
Ip-adress 104.27.183.114 is blocked. I get news reports from blendernation, but can not open site. I think that many users from Russia can not answer here without a VPN. Moscow, MGTS (the biggest provider) NOT working.
Hello, I live in Yekaterinburg, but the site isn't blocked.
P.S telegram works perfectly well, even without a VPN, or a proxy server service)
They should unban the blendernation soon. If they wouldn't than i'm moving to the Canada, or Ukraine
Moscow, MGTS. Stopped working for a long time before "Telegram war". Support say that the domain is not blocked, but ip is blocked. And the copyright owner must apply for RKN to unblock it. I do not know if this is all true. looks like general supports bullshit. may be not...
I am just started using vpn or TOR browser. works well.
Nizhny Novgorod, Tele2. Works.
Ekaterinburg good communication
Working good. environs of Yekaterinburg.
From Brazil, everything is fine.
St. Petersburg in touch!
Tula. Not blocked yet ;)
no, it is not blocked
I can read and write.
bullshit
a$$holes
Sakhalin. Work in Pale Moon. Don't work in Opera.
Russia, Stavropol and Grozniy (18.04.2018) Rostelecom - not blocked (yet?).
I hope Roscomnadzor will stop this soon. Their actions interfering with huge amount of sites and services. including mobile bank apps and cash registers!
Everything OK as usual without VPN
Sketchfab ok
Russia Moscow
everything works
Moscow
A totalitarian state in its pure form.
Keep watching.
Yeah I now, poisons, radioactive materials etc. Better back to blending.
))) I like CNN too, it's funy. But yea, better back to blending of course.
I can open blendernation.com and there is no any blocks and VPNs.
Sochi, Russia, Megafon and Beeline providers.
the new dictator is born, the russian regime is born. there are no rights in Russia.
Bullshit, the US has the Patriot act, they spy all citizens and I don't hear anyone calling the US a dictator state.
It's a technical issue. They tried to ban this https://bsa.ru.com/pervichnye-dokumenty-dlya-biznesa.html.
The IPs are same (104.27.183.114).
It works somewhere because of IPv6 resolving or something.
A proof:
