For some context about this user’s current status, which may have led to this diary entry, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Barroszt/blocks .
To summarise, they changed their username to something deemed offensive and started make name changes in Ukraine to old Russian-derived values - see https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/how-about-limit-new-accounts/101656/233 .

Why can blocked users make diary posts?
