Just in case, the btce-e.com domain is not accessible from Russia (Russian users should use another address)

i just tried it with a Russian IP address and i successfully accessed btc-e.com and there was no problem with the access and/or log in.
Ok so you found the IP address of their site. Can you take it down? How sure are you that they do not have backup servers? Also how can you stop them? They are anonymous and can start another exchange with a different name. Unlike Bitfinex we know who the founders are and where to find them.
It is not the exchange IP's
The IP you see in the shapshot (i.e 83.239.58.162) is the poster's IP, his Internet provider is Rostelecom, the largest Internet provider in Russia (actually, the company belongs to the Russian government). The btc-e.com IP is 104.23.131.83, and access to this IP was restricted by the St.Petersburg court ruling, so you can't access the exchange by that address from Russia (at least through official Internet providers). The poster probably uses an anonymiser or proxy server (maybe, a vpn) to reach the exchange (or he is downright accessing btc-e through one of their alternative addresses, i.e. not .com address)
