Always interesting to see pirate sites having multiple ccTLDs in an attempt to stop shutdowns. It doesn't do anything, it's just OPSEC theater. Sci-Hub needs to burrow itself in the dark web, but it may be too late. The lady behind the show is well known...

It does in countries like the UK that legally mandate ISPs to block sites at the DNS level.

They also use multiple TLDs to stay one step ahead of US authorities who apply pressure to the domain registrars.
.se has worked for a long time now, but .tw no longer does, and I guess she's on .ru now, going by the headline.

The ultimate aim of Sci-Hub is for Sci-Hub to not be a pirate site in as many jurisdictions as possible. I think it's possible to achieve that goal.
