to us, therefore shouldn't be critisized, well I dont get it. Isn't it his job ?

As far as I know it is not. He was hired as a
mission designer (he used to do this for MG in the past) and community
projects manager (1)to collect info from community for BoM on airgroup locations, etc. and 2)creation of community manual). This info was supposed to be collected on the Russian forums only because of the language barrier and because more information on VVS is available in Russia. Western community will benefit of all the results of these projects when they are ready and translated. Source

Because these projects were to be carried out on the Russian forums and because BlackSix was an
old forum member for 10+ years already he agreed to provide also some information on game progress on those forums (otherwise community would not be that eager to provide information to him). This is not his job but rather extra responsibility.
The above may be not 100% correct, just my conclusions based on facts.
The fact that he writes here anything in English is only his goodwill because UBI is responsible for PR outside Russia as the publisher. UBI keeps and spends the communication budget for all the countries outside Russia. You paid your money to UBI and have all the rights to request customer service including communication from them or take them to court if the game does not 'work' or communication is not good enough. This is how business works. All communication here and the existence of this forum itself is only 1C and the devs goodwill.
