The wikipedia thinks the sale to SixApart (the Russian company in question) happened in 2007, but that they only started relocating in 2009. I was on Dreamwidth during the big exodus when Denise welcomed an influx of Russian journalers, and that was in 2017, when LJ changed its TOS to conform "to Russian law" and fans expected censorship of gay content and possibly punishment for Russian users, under a law that forbids the "promotion" of homosexuality.

Tellingly, the wiki article doesn't even mention strikethrough. You have to go to fanlore to get any sense of what impact that might have been having. But apparently it somewhat-maps to the dates we're discussing - the mass deletion of blogs after a religious group threatened LJ's ad revenue was in 2007.
