It's so stupid the results from studies done that are paid for by tax dollars are not public information. It's literally theft.

This is a very interesting article when you get to her philosophy.

Political theory provided new growth to her evolving Open Access philosophy. Communism, a model of government-less society in which resources and opportunity are metered out with equality and impartiality, has never been successfully implemented. Nevertheless, it was a particularly seductive concept to Elbakyan. The collective ideals of communism entwined for her with the ideals of the scientific method. After all, science depends on shared data. History’s greatest scientific discoveries have all been made and shared, as scientists often say, from atop the shoulders of giants: their scientific predecessors who shared their research. To Elbakyan, science thrives only when scientists shout their discoveries to everyone.

Looks like you first have to have a special identifying number for the paper you want to access.

Kazakhstan don't give a fuck about your shitty paywall.
It's too bad Aaron Schwartz wasn't Kazakhi.
