Unfortunately, itâs a very common thing to do around russian fan communities, esp on this site. Untranslated content isnât âwelcomedâ (a lot of russians donât know english well and it actually MAKES THEM MAD when thereâs something they donât understand), so people sometimes post translated comics insted, often w/out original artistsâ permission. At the same time they put their own group name on translated work and donât allow other same-themed groups to repost âtheir original contentâ, call it stealing (oh, sweet irony). Some, when asked to remove posted content actually get angry about that and refuse to do so, saying that by doing so they spread the knowledge about their favourite creators and increase their popularity :/ Aaaand then block these who ask to do that. I donât know if itâs possible to do anything beyond that. VK is that one site that donât really do anything about stolen (and sometimes more illegal) content, unless they may get into real trouble with law. They just go with âyou post in on the internet, you allow people to take itâ :/
I never had any contacts with this particular group, but i hope they hear the message and respond well to it U_U

Their admin said itâs all your fault you donât put credits on your arts and theyâre not going to âdo your jobâ and add at least a link to authorsâ blogs and they rather delete all of it. She says youâre âjust complaining and donât want to do anythingâ.
Besides admin said anyone talking about credits is being insolent and âall the dissatisfied artists may sit in their swampâ.

So they answered me and told me that they will delete all your work. I guess they wonât publish your works at all anymore
I wonât quote their words since, eh, theyâre pretty rude in a hilarious way (they actually thought they were making you âfamousâ and if you âungratefulâ folk wanted to talk you should have asked them yourselves. Despite, you know, language barrier and stuff) and I donât wanna spoil your day any more
Anyway, it seems most works are gone. Have a nice day
Oh god, thanks to all of you for the help and dealing with this ! It was sorted out way faster than I imagined it could be actually ? Also I didn't expect that kind of reaction from them but heh, that's one point of view ¯\_(ă)_/ÂŻÂ illegal point of view tho
