Computer-generated summary:
Using a VPN before connecting to Tor provides advantages over just using Tor alone, such as making your traffic blend in better and providing plausible deniability from your ISP.
Tor Project doesn't actively recommend VPNs because they want to keep their advice simple, but they acknowledge VPNs can help users stand out less on their network.
Your ISP or network administrator poses the same threat as law enforcement in deanonymizing your Tor traffic based on metadata.
Connecting directly to Tor makes your usage obvious on your local network, while a VPN connection is less suspicious and common.
Bridges only circumvent censorship temporarily, as they are eventually blocked, leaving your past Tor usage identifiable through historical network analysis.
Many situations exist where hiding Tor usage would be beneficial beyond just criminals or censorship evasion, such as whistleblowing.
The worst case of using a VPN with Tor leaves you no worse off, as your adversary would already have visibility into your regular Internet traffic.
Properly using a VPN before Tor does not increase fingerprintability or harm anonymity according to Tor's design.

Thank you for making it, it's a great resource. I was one of the first people on the PG translation team, and made like half of the Russian translation, though I didn't finish it. It seems like someone else has finished the translation and the Russian version is now fully available.
