  Hi. I’ve almost 2000 page views on my blog (and am promoting globally), but not a single one from Russia. Plenty from tiy places (e.g., Maldives), but none from Russia. Is there a general problem tracking hits from Russia?

  Unfortunately, the problem is actually with Russia.

  The short version is that several Russian ISPs were ordered by a Russian government entity to block all 40 million WordPress.com blogs in order to censor what appears to be just 5 blogs. We’re doing everything in our power to resolve this, but to be honest, we really don’t have much power in this situation when going up against a government agency.

  Please see https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/my-blog-was-blocked for a larger discussion.

  Thanks, macmanx. That explains it. I’ll wait until the situation is resolved – not a biggee for me at this time.
