Vasiliy (@sosigusyan [1] [ru]), military conscript and the author of “the Barracks Blog,” a Twitter-account telling about the life in the army (see transcripts of his tweets here [2] [ru] and here [3] [ru]) had been de-anonymized by the military authorities. The content of the micro-blog had been deleted and someone else started to write there, RealArmy.org claims [4] [ru]. The website also says they can't contact Vasiliy and suspect the blogger might be threatened by his leadership.
