The news about SORM-2 is more than half year old. There is more fresh news about Internet in Russia. Russian department of communication proposes a law that requires registering of all web pages owned by russian citizens. They says that web pages are like newspapers and should be registered same way. This means paying 1000$ or more for any web page (including small homepages on public servers like Geocites) and government contol for content.
ANY use of cryptography in Russia is strictly prohibited by law (even if it is 56-bit or even smaller). But everyone in Russia ignore this law and use any crypto programs they want. I live in Russia and use PGP, for example. This law and SORM-2 offend against the Constitution of Russia and they don't works really.
There was the case, when small russian ISP won the lawsuit vs FSB, when FSB tried to use SORM-2.
