In reality the "Border Control Philosophy" has nothing to do with criticism
of the project or administration. This is a Rissian version of  what Jimbo
said after blocking some trolls in the English Wikiversity:

Strong community does not come from an «anything goes» attitude — but from
rallying around a set of principles that define the mission in such a way
that productive work can be accomplished.

And the Russian Wikiversity Story is indeed a replica but a replica of
English Wikiversity's one. People who can not effectively push their agenda
in Wikipedia because of the strong community there migrate to the
Wikiveristy where they can do whatever they want and the  big part of that
is attacking admins on Wikipedia. Sergey J who blocked Yaroslav also issued
a number of  arbitrary warnings to the active Russian Wikipedia contributors
(not all of tehm admins) for their actions in Wikipedia, and they have no
idea about these.

This is clearly a cross-project issue because the same trolls pop up on meta
and in a thousand of other places wasting everybody's time.
