LJ Is Down with DDOS

A couple of items I found by searching Google note that elections for the Duma, the Russian congress/parliament, are December 4. If the DDOS is politically backed (which is likely), I imagine that we can expect problems at least through that date.

Long live free speech, and the Russian bloggers who are trying to exercise it!

ETA: The Guardian also thinks that the elections are the issue in the current DDOS attack.
