Cool development, but it is unlikely to be the reason, the Habr article
currently has 28k views, and Russia's user count now fluctuates by 150k users,
following a strong correlation with workday schedule.

Extra 100 to 150 thousand users during Monday to Friday (May 13-17, 20-24,
27-31), then dropping during weekends. A massive botnet on office PCs?
