'"Politics always attract extra attention," Darkside writes. "We do not want that."'

But interview with Wired will not attract any attention? Something fishy is going on.

I thinks he was talking about authorities' attention. Look around the Russian side of Internet -- it's full of illegal stuff and local authorities there turn the blind eye on most online crimes, but crack down heavily on any activity that opposes official Kremlin's politics. Just a few examples:

I'd wager that politics tends to sic people on you because they disagree with your philosophy. If you don't espouse a philosophy, you're much less likely to become the victim of a politically motivated attack.

It's less likely that someone will read Wired and get riled up.

I wish they'd posted longer transcripts of the interview - this seems like an excerpt, or a teaser.

he says. "You can't rape the whole world and remain safe."
