Vostok has reappeared and previously it was displaying Twenty Ten > Check the official wp.com Vostok demo: http://vostokdemo.wordpress.com/ I assume that means Themes Staff did something that created this issue.

Like @jneckert, my widgets, etc. were thrown for a whirl, but at least the theme is back.

@lmdl09, Go to Dashboard>Widgets and at the bottom of the screen you can drag inactive widgets back to Left or Right Footer Widget Area. Your settings should be restored, it was stressful until I figured this out. Good luck,

Sorry for not catching this sooner! I’ve just found this issue in the forums, so I researched it a bit more and found that it has already been fixed. Whew!

It looks like the theme switch happened because of a mistake while trying to migrate the location of the theme on our servers. Apologies for any troubles!

Hi everyone—very sorry about the outage with Vostok. It was my fault. :(

The situation is now fixed, and we’re running a fixer tool to put all the affected sites back to normal. However, if you don’t want to wait for that just head in your Dashboard to Appearance → Themes and activate Vostok again.

Note: Settings and customizations were not affected by this, just the theme location.
