No. As a Russian I think it's just not a Putin's idea. It looks as an initiative of Parliament that went out of control. We name our Duma "a rabid printer". The govt opposes it but cannot do against the law.
For instance, our law requires to add "The terrorist organization prohibited in Russia" every time ISIS (and a lot of other organizations) is mentioned in media. Also, the photos from the famous Victory Parade (where Hitler's banners with Swastikas were thrown to the basement of Lenin's Mausoleum) are banned because they depict the Swastikas. And also it's a requirement for me to know all the list of prohibited information in order to avoid posting something from this list. We use this list as a recommendation list and wait impatiently for the next issue.
In short: Russian govt (Comms Ministry and Comms Supervision: Minkomsvyaz and Roskomnadzor) had performed a simulation of disconnect of Russia from the global Internet this spring. They have found that Russia is still connected, and they could not understand by what means it stays connected. They think that the problem is in lots of small providers (up to 11000 Internet providers licenses total) that have satellite links abroad.
Full Disclosure: I live in Russia. And I am quite glad that the experiment failed.
Full disclosure: I live in Russia. But I see that power spoils everywhere, not only in Russia.
Do NOT give the police anything non-lethal including the traditional rubber batons.
When the cops use the lethal weapon they always know that their illegal activity may produce the evidence in form of a dead body (or at least some gun wounds that are required to be reported by doctors), and then there WILL be a due process where they should prove that the dead body has been produced legally. If there is some method to incapacitate people without killing them and producing corresponding evidence - the cops WILL use this method against any suspect.
There is a lot of Soviet films about the Nazis attempting to catch a Soviet agent by selectively powering down the city blocks.
The same method is fully applicable to TOR. You just make a connection to TOR node you try to find and then block/delay anything except well known ports for, say, 5 seconds. If your traffic is correspondingly delayed then you have blocked the part of the network which contains either intermediate or end node. And you can do it in parallel for all the known TOR hidden nodes.
You need a control of all the network but it's quite simple since all the main Internet providers are state monopolies. Also, the infrastructure for doing it is being built due to the internet filtering laws.
The cloud storage networks seem more promising in these circumstances since it's impossible to find post factum who inserted the info to the cloud.
... the police chief told my daddy that the giant dog is the only legal protection. If he eats a burglar it's OK but if you kill a burglar it's a crime. Russian law allows killing the killer, not the burglar.
The second means of protection was a flare launcher. The flare easily burns all the guts of a burglar while it is not legally a weapon, so it's not a crime but only a misbehavior to keep it, and flares are sold w/o license.
And the third: A wireless signal to the police. Prices are quite affordable, property is insured, and there is a nice label that the building is being guarded.
The video system is on 4th place. And my neighbor's recorder is in my basement, not his.
Happily the junkies died off and our neighborhood is safe. Also, many locals don't lock their dogs so they wander around eating the strangers.
You don't need to walk a dog. Just arrange an area around your home where he can freely move. The only problem is when the perimeter is broken and the dog visits all bitches around.
Neo-Fashists? There are NO neo-fashists in Russia. Half of them decided that Russians are "Mongolo-Katsaps" with spoiled genetics and must die. This half went to Ukraine to fight against Mongolo-Katsaps and for European values. The second one decided that their Russian people and Russia is Aryan and Uber Alles and went to Donbass to fight against the first part. So even the Russian neo-nazi sites have been closed. And while I hate Nazism I know both sides fight quite heroically.
While they are really mostly Jews, I don't link it with a nationality. I know enough good Russians with inflammation of the fifth paragraph (Soviet euphemism for Jews)
I blame the liberal idea as a whole and "Invisible hand" as a part of it.
Well, hint. What is the side of trolls that can contaminate every blog in Russia with anti-Russian commentaries in pure Russian language if you Americans usually don't speak Russian?
If your [write your blogging platform name here] site can be broken into - you should blame the authors of the blogging platform and it's OS, not us Russian hackers.
Really I have enough proof of Russian involvement in the conflict: about 5 per cent of rebels are Russian citizens. But I still have no conclusive proof of Russian, rebel or Ukrainian involvement specifically in MH-17. I have only questions, maybe you know the answers?
1) Why Dnepropetrovsk air control sent MH-17 to the war zone? 2) What was the UFO seen by Russian air control near the MH-17? 3) Why nobody has seen a starting BUK? (It weights 1 ton, roars as a hell full of devils and produces a pillar of smoke from the launcher to the target - in daytime and on the territory where every second phone has a camera) 4) Why the locals told that bodies smelled formaldehyde and had no running blood while cockpit was bloodstained? 5) There are rumors that there were unusually low number of mourners. Is it true?
You mean a woman in SPb that had not received her 30 silver pieces from Putinists for trolling contract? Ha-ha-ha.
I don't state that Putin's trolls are not existent. I am just tired as [beep] from trolls from the opposite side. You understand that during 1917-2015 we Russians have trained to ignore the propaganda.
Q: Radio states that there is a plenty of food in Soviet Union, but my fridge is empty. A: Feed your fridge from the radio.
Well, in theory. Russia sort of is a despotic shithole where success means being jailed/murdered so your assets and company can be annexed by one of Putin's business buddies.
You are basically right. Russia is sort of beephole where crablike Putin jails the oligarchs etc. Problem is that the side being jailed is not an angel, too. Especially - if the other side is not only the oligarch but the 5th column too. I had some positive emotions towards jailed Khodorkovski, jailed Bolotnaya square demonstrators etc. Now I have no positive emotions: I've seen what kind of people they are.
I see the score comes down. It means that the trolls are already here. And they try to use their moderator points instead of posting the proof of Russian involvement. And they are not Russian ones.
If you post something about say MH17 and the information about the Russians being involved, all of a sudden the trolls come out about Ukrainian aggression, whores in Kiev etc.
Well, I'd like to hear from you the proof of Russian involvement. Full disclosure: I am Russian and I look at the MH17 quite attentively.
You forgot to mention that some immigrants are carriers of values that can be incompatible with values of your Founding Fathers. Yes, you understand the meaning of the word "values".
It only means that in historically short time the big part of the genome of your USA population will become Indian. Of course if your democratically elected rulers prefer business efficiency over inter-ethnic peace.
I,too, am a content creator, and it's disrespectful at best and harmful at worst to pirate content. I don't care what words you choose to use to refer to it (copying, stealing, liberating, whatever), it treats the creator with a disregard to his well-being.
Deep Purple’s Concert Violates Deep Purple’s Rights
Jul. 7th, 2009 at 7:22 PM
The Russian Authors Organization (RAO), a collective right-management organization, sued OOO Yug-Art, a Russian company that had organized in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, a concert of Deep Purple, a legendary English rock band. RAO demanded from Yug-Art compensation for “unauthorized pubic performance” of songs copyrighted by Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Steve Morse, and Ian Paice, on whose behalf RAO allegedly acted. The peculiarity of the case is that on the concert Gillan, Glover, Morse, and Paise (the Deep Purple members) performed their own songs themselves. Nevertheless, the court agreed that the performance was indeed “unauthorized.” RAO won the award of 450,000 rubles (cr. $15,000, or $1,000 per song). http://russian-law.livejournal...
As I know there is a thing named Arduino. Also, there is a thing named Arduino GSM shield. Basically it means that it's possible to make a primitive communication device with almost totally user-controlled code. (Almost - because the GSM shield has a firmware in it, but it's interface can be controlled). You can use it to make an encrypted communication between parties but unfortunately it doesn't save you from collecting metadata; it still needs a solution (Such as "Diverter" in good old days of blueboxing).

Well, I see your message modded to -1. Basically it means that not only Ukrainian but US trolls spend here moderator points, too.
Well, hint. What is the side of trolls that can contaminate every blog in Russia with anti-Russian commentaries in pure Russian language if you Americans usually don't speak Russian?
Let me guess, USSR's Lavrenty Beria was a normal reaction to America's Joseph McCarthy in your opinion too?
Our Lavrenty Beria was a curator of Russian nuclear project while your McCarthy was a politician and investigator ONLY.

Yes, Comrade.
