I have taken Russophile.com offline because it has been targeted by hackers for the third time in the last four months. You can thank hacker dorks for the page not displaying that you were hoping to see. They unfortunately turn their talents to destruction rather than anything useful. I did add more security measures and update the software each time, but they seem to have a fetish with Russophile.com or a good collection of vBulletin hacks.
In the short run, you can find cached versions of the pages in google's cache. Search for "Russophile" and a few key words in Google and then click on the cache link rather than the web page title. For example, you can posts such as Moscow's Cold War Museum and my trip to Nizhnevartovsk in Siberia.
It could take several weeks before this page is replaced by something and it will take several more weeks to replace the whole site. I will try to start with the most popular posts and those with the most links to them.
In the mean time, check out the following sites:
That list was compiled quickly, so I know that I missed several good sites, but that is a great start for Russia related websites. Well, unless you were interested specifically in some of my travels to Siberia -- that content was unique from what I had seen.
You can contact me at russophile *(DOT*) com *(AT)* gmail *(DOT)* com if you need to reach me.
I'll be back. -BZM
