so? that's only one company. I'm sure if they shopped around they could find more sympathetic businesses (eg. people who host spammers)

If you read this[1] Wikipedia link, you can see that they had quite a lot of difficulty in finding sympathetic businesses.

Yes, I'm aware of their various attempts, but their poor choice of companies (mainly from the west) makes me think they either didn't know about about shadier hosting options, or they wanted to keep up the victimization narrative. Why didn't they go for a .su or .ru subdomain and a russian hosting company? I'm sure putin would welcome them with open arms.
