LJ user tema is one of the many Cyrillic bloggers who are unhappy with how the new LJ ads interrupt the flow of their posts; he shares a screenshot [1] (RUS) of his blog to illustrate his point. Others are sharing a way to get rid of LJ ads in their posts; LJ user hydrargentum is one of them [2] (RUS).
