Oh dang, they're doing a China and Scientology and restricting the Internet almost entirely.

Except even China only heavily censors the Internet, they're not disconnecting entirely.

What the fuck is the point of this.

Have cyber-attacks happened to the Russian government? I haven't heard a peep about that.

Granted, it's only a "test" but for what?

Like Putin ordered the Troll Farm to work on a virus to wreck the interwebz and he wants to build his own internet as insurance.

But more seriously if he does set up a Russian internet it's just going to start up a black market for Real internet access.

VK will be a key component of this ecosystem. In February 2019, just a couple of months after their partnership was announced, VK and AliExpress announced the start of a social e-commerce project in Russia. A source from VK told East-West Digital News that Integration will begin over the next few months as the first version of AliExpress app will be launched on the VK Apps platform. Such apps launch instantly on VK with no install required.

Will this negatively impact my supply of slav memes, though?
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

Also, the NS stats don't reflect my RL views, just to clarify.

Authoritarians are gonna authoritarian.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

”Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - George Orwell

Vladimir Putin is great at making propaganda but he's not the ideal leader a modern country needs.

He needs to practice being merciful.

Based on what ? China is vastly more dictatorial yet has become the worlds dominant power. Seems that style of leadership works fine.

The wall only works one way, stopping information coming in.. not hacking going out. It merely makes hacking Russia a little harder.

That is not possible. If you send outgoing data to hack a US server with Trumps private porn stash, you still need incoming data to receive it. So it actually will give Russian hackers some extra trouble.

I doubt the wall is to protect the hackers as much as keep the average Russians as well as dissidents penned up and easier to track down.

Only if you're sending the information to the same location as your attacking from.
