Hmmmmm...
Get a bunch of high-profile AO3 writers to write stories where Putin is the villain (perfectly legal, outside Russia). Post those stories to AO3 (perfectly legal). Don't set the do-not-copy flag (perfectly legal). Watch as the Russian site gets shut down because of all the illegally-copied anti-Putin stories hosted on it.
Now, I'm not saying that this will work, or even that it's a good idea. But, hey, freedom of expression means I can post this sort of thought.
