Russavia

Rusavia , is it about a Russian airspace company Rusavia? If so it appears to be commerce-driven. (Noted, possibly related, but does not have to be: There are Rus. language videos of self-confessed 'trolls', operating from well before US elections controversy, telling that, in effect, their work is of commercial nature--and they have plenty of it --00:10, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

"Russavia" was or is the name of a Wikipedia editor caught up in the 2009 events Petri linked to. Thanks for that, Petri, I'll look into that a bit closer when I find the time. This Philip Cross stuff seems to be more juicy than usual, though, with Jimmy Wales and Wikipedia twitter directly defending "him" against accusations by people "with names", and the connection to the stalking nexus of Oliver Kamm etc. I think this could get even more interesting in the near future. --CE (talk) 00:36, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
Russavia is an Australian guy who likes Russia and Russian airplanes. He was permanently banned from the English language Wikipedia for writing the article on Polandball. -- Petri Krohn (talk)
