Finally an article that dips into Elbakyan's worldview and motivations. I _hate_ the typical lazy coverage which projects American "civil rights hero" stereotype on her. She isn't, she is borderline crazy person (that is, self-proclaimed "communist" supporting Putin's crony capitalism) with no fear of consequences and with incentives aligned with the majority of scientific community. It can be made into a _much_ richer and personal story than your typical "fight the man" trope, but most journalists can't be bothered.
