I totally agree, but just want to add something..It's not even about 
government. We all might have different opinions about our governments, which 
is ok, and for example I also have mine, BUT, it very important to realise and 
accept that isolation the way it happens now will have completely opposite 
effect then expected..And another thing that I think IT people is one of the 
most free in the world in a sence of ability to exchange of information and 
also smart enough to make own conclusions about what they see and hear 
around... but point is that to make conclusion and decision you should be 
strong enough to get an information from many sides, otherwise its just an 
excuse to follow a mainstream without own opinion.. Again, may be there are lot 
of business reasons to block RU or whatever other regions you decide to block, 
but its more not to put any motto as an excuse as it leads only to escalations 
rather then understanding and finding right solutions.RegardsYuri

block is actually helping the Russian government. It wants to isolate ru people 
and you want to isolate ru people too. How wise!Leaving ru alone with 
propaganda won't help at all.People who do or want to contribute to the 
worldwide opensource projects are *not* the same as people who make or support 
war(s).GitHub got it right:

<evilr...@gmail.com>:Freedom is an ability to make an own judgments on things 
with a follow-up decisions which are explained rather then following popular 
trends without even close understanding the subject.. I am using Qt from 
version 1.33, and was a customer of TrollTech since then.. But I hardly 
remember Qt in any way followed any political agenda. Out of curiosity can you 
announce full list of blocked countries, may be North Korea or Iran? Just 
wondering if you block Crimea users after 2014? There were hell of the wars and 
military conflicts around the world since 2000, and I don't think that it was a 
matter for Qt ever. I mean really, its open source thing, there are things like 
VPN, proxies.. we all here in IT world, practically it will mean nothing at all 
rather then adding oil in already started fire.. Declaring sanctions that way 
is nothing then escalating conflict, my view on this that in reallity its a 
demand of 'large scale' sponsors and companies supporting Qt, but do you truly 
think it has anything about freedom, democracy etc?It would be much better to 
say - listen, we are open source and prefer to stay out of politics as we know 
nothing about that, but we are company and majority of our top customers pushed 
such decision and we decided that our commonwealth is more important... I mean 
it could be good or bad but at least it will be true...RegardsYuri--------

    Yes, it's kind of hysterical. I don't understand what the Qt
      company wants to achieve in the end? What is the purpose?
      
      So far, it looks more like a clowning: "the circus is gone, but
      the clowns remain."
      
      Qt Company can't stick your tongue out of the USA ass? :)
    
    I had a higher opinion of Qt Company up to this point ...
     This is not serious somehow, some kind of kindergarten. LOL. :)

        As long as I can fetch sources I wouldn't take any actions.
        But anyways, bringing your own political preferences to the
          open source world rules is a quite hypocritical move.
        In the adult world, it doesn't matter if your community
          members / contributors have a skin tone, political or sexual
          preferences not like yours, or an IP address that belongs to
          some particular territory.

              Hi,
               
              It is because your IP is detected to be in a
                  country we do not allow downloads. If you are not able to 
access something
                  you have purchased then let me know and I will get
                  someone to get in touch with you directly about this.
                  Otherwise, for the time being, this IP block will be
                  in place.
               
              Regards,
              Andy

                      Hi,
                        I imagine you're using a russian IP address, so
                        this[1] should shed some light on the matter.
                        
                        Kind regards,
                        Konstantin.
