My personal opinion:

Let them.

It is a good thing they are figuring out how to enjoy OpenStreetMap 
without putting themselves at risk *and* in the mean time try to prevent 
a total blockade of OpenStreetMap in Russia.

People who cannot imagine how it is to have a government that has 
"issues" in interpreting freedom of speech 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech>, freedom of conscience 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_conscience>, freedom from fear 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_from_fear> and freedom from want 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_from_want> should not interfere in 
this particular topic. It makes me sad that having the luxury of all 
freedoms, seems to make some people incapable of understanding that this 
is NOT (yet) a common privilige in other parts of the world..

Kind regards,

Milo van der Linden
