This happens every few months, and not always by Russian ISPs. This would never happen if all upstream providers had proper filters on accepting BGP requests.
It really means the current system of using BGP is not resilient, and never has been.

Perhaps Uber will face the same penalty.
Blaming the Venezuelan government and left wing groups for all of the recent violence is too general. In this case there really is blame on both sides.
I was recently reading https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/07/venezuela-maduro-helicopt... , which condemns the Maduro government, wealthy right wing Venezuelans, and outside corporations who really wish Maduro would hurry up and leave so they can start trading in Venezuelans mineral and fossil fuel wealth.
The Conservative papers are totally trying to glue, at least in the minds of UK voters, Venezuela to Corbyn! I remember headlines like 'Corbyn's future plan for the UK: VENEZUELA'
Trying to glue the legacy of Venezuela to Corbyn is silly. I am well aware of Corbyn's admiration of Hugo Chavez defying American intervention in Venezuela.
If the various papers in England want to keep up that theme, they should explore Conservative ties to Saudi Arabia and Pinochet's regime.

There are about 220 million White Americans. Your data claims 392 White Americans have been killed police in 2017 so far.
There are about 35 million Black Americans. Your data claims 190 Black Americans have been killed by police in 2017 so far.
If Black Americans were killed by police hypothetically at the same rate as White Americans, 62 Black Americans would be dead.
Do you see the huge disparity there?

Personally I think Kaczynski was influenced more by his inability to get a date in his entire life.

The FBI arrested him in a hallway, 1 day after his talk. Dmitry at first thought it was a joke put on by a Defcon prankster.
During his talk, the panel moderator asked Dmitry to pause for a minute... and said "Would you mind saying 'Can you tell me where are the nuclear vessels in Alameda'?" Dmitry was confused by this request and said, in his Russian accent, "I do not know where the nuclear wessels are in Alameda?" The mostly American Trek-familiar audience had a good laugh, and Dmitry continued with his talk.
