Description
Status: alive and defiantly closed
Leprosorium — the legendary closed Russian collective blog — is alive in 2026, with working apps for iOS and Android. The community deliberately cultivates isolation: the login page literally says “right now we are not expecting anyone new”.
How people get in (official paths)
- An invite from an active member — the classic and main path. Invites are scarce, so you need a friend inside.
- The application form on the login page — a half-joking form (the famous “introduce yourself as Danny DeVito” one) that works as an official way to get noticed by the admins.
- The admins’ official Telegram channel. The site itself states it is the only place legally distributing invitations, calling everyone else “dealers in stolen goods”. A second-hand invite is a ban risk with no refund.
Facts
Lepra grew out of Dirty.ru as its closed inner circle. In the late 2000s a Lepra invite was a genuine currency of the Russian internet — gifted, raffled, resold. The site has outlived all of its would-be “killers”.
