Lesson plan
Dvach
Dvach ( , from dva "two" and "chan"), also known as 2ch, is the largest Russian anonymous imageboard. It is a successor to an older Russian imageboard with the same name that was launched in 2006 but shut down three years later in 2009. As of 2026 the imageboard can be accessed via the 2ch.su domain name. It is owned and run by Russian-born Azerbaijani Nariman Namazov, nicknamed Abu. The imageboard suffered significantly during a massive 2016 DDoS attack, after which it switched its hosting provider to the Russian state-affiliated Mail.Ru Group, leading many users to believe that it was sold to the company. Dvach is often accused of cyberbullying, misogyny, and toxic trolling. It has also doxxed criminals.
