The public description (in Russian) of the project has been removed now and it only reads "cipher 'TOR' (Navy)." The ministry said it is looking for experts and researchers to "study the possibility of obtaining technical information about users and users' equipment on the Tor anonymous network."

Between Russia and the USA, the former has been pretty fucking docile for the last couple of decades, while the latter has been busy spreading their business interests at gunpoint and funding guerrilla warfare to overthrow non-compliant governments, so maybe you should just stfu with your oppressive government crap and go take a good look in the mirror you ignorant cunt.
