There seemed to be some mix-up with the URLs, I'm presenting a corrected 
version below.

Thanks:)

*18 of February *- Torrents.ru, Russia's largest torrent tracker, has 
had its domain suspended by the domain registrar. The tracker moved to 
rutracker.org <http://rutracker.org>
*18 of February, evening* - Creation of a petition addressed to 
president Medvedev and premier Putin to stop the unlawful process of the 
domain's suspension (http://girus.ru/petition/33/) [1]
*19 of February, morning *- The launch of a support community of 
torrents.ru <http://torrents.ru>
*19 of February, 14:30-15:30* rutracker.org <http://rutracker.org> was 
down, officially for technical reasons
*19 of February, daytime* - Media spreads information about the petition 
(http://www.nr2.ru/policy/271102.html)
*19 of February, 16:00*- Publication of the official reason of the 
closure 
(http://bfm.ru/news/2010/02/19/skp-zakryl-torrents-ru-byl-zakryt-iz-za-moskvicha-pirata.html)
*19 of February, 17:00 *- When you visit 1С web-site it says "Service 
Temporarily Unavailable".
*19 of February, 17:00-19:00 - * 1С.ru and ekinot.ru <http://ekinot.ru> 
don't work thanks to torrents.ru <http://torrents.ru> users' and 
supporters' DDoS attack.
*19 of February, daytime *- rutracker.org is on and off all the day, 
most probably because of the sheer number of users trying to access the site

/Useful information/: 1c.ru <http://1c.ru> is the website of a large 
software house that often complained about their works being pirated, 
and ekinot.ru <http://ekinot.ru> is an "internet movie library". Both 
came up as candidates to have tipped off and leaned on the prosecutor's 
office to enforce a closure of torrents.ru <http://torrents.ru>
[1] As of today, over 11000 people have signed the petition, among them 
schoolteachers, programmers, artists and just about any other profession 
imaginable

Best regards,
Boris
