    I stopped using LJ long before that, so I didn’t know anything about the Russian stuff until fairly recently. A RL friend told me about Dreamwidth and I immediately moved all my stuff over to there… though it’s private and I have no friends.

    So many of my years are recorded in that journal… I would be absolutely destroyed if I lost all of it. I met my husband through LJ. I wrote about losing my mom on LJ. My entries are so so special to me. Even the cringey teenage angst! I go through them every once in a while just to remember how far I’ve come and how much I’ve changed from the person who wrote those entries.

      There’s also tools you can use to make local downloads of your LJ posts. I did that with all of mine, so I have them stored away as a series of per-month html files of all my posts.
