That's fun and cute if there is any significant damage happened, but I would prefer to see their electricity infrastructure burning. Because I sat for 9 hours without power today. Yesterday wasn't much better.

Plus I think it was a huge mistake or failure. If both datacenters would be destroyed in one go then there might be a chance that backups are old or even nonexistent because of overall negligence. Now they will make enough copies to guarantee that the data is safe. Looks like a failure.

Or, of course, those who planned the operation might know SOMETHING I don't know and everything went as it should...

Mikhail Klimarev, executive director of the Internet Protection Society, told Ekho Moskvy that the Federal Tax Service operates two duplicate data centers: one in Dubna, in the Moscow region, and another in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

Sadly, their data is okay.

And trust me, losing land registry info is really a pain too. That means that there's no way you can prove that the house you live in is yours or that you own a certain property. This summer it happened to us as well - and during peace time.
