Hello Voat! 3 days ago (January 31, 2017) Voat was officially blocked in Russia by Roskomnadzor (the govt. agency responsible for upholding various censorship laws in Russia.)
RKN's registry for blocked sites says that the court order to block Voat was filed on the 25th of January, but it was enforced 3 days ago.
This (nfsw!) post has blocked THE ENTIRELY OF VOAT (a similar thing happened with Reddit.) Now, the only thing we can do is make some noise, and hope that RKN unblocks Voat.

This is a VERY foolish move on the part of Russia and Russian interests.

I think you are confusing Russia with a country that wants a free and educated people. Spoiler: Despite the memes Putin is not a good person.

"Good", "not good". Meh. Does he have good intentions for the Russian people and their future prosperity? That is the question. I have no reason to doubt Putin on this.
