Knowing that any unauthorised demonstrations are harshly suppressed...

Just like in the old days?

government's intensifying crackdown on the internet that has seen regular shutdowns of cellphone internet connections, blocked popular messaging apps

Putin is trying to get the complete Russian internet under government control, like in China.

China operates the world's most extensive internet censorship system, known as the "Great Firewall" (GFW), which combines legislative, technical, and surveillance tools to restrict access to foreign information and monitor domestic users. Key aspects include blocking websites (e.g., Google, Facebook), filtering keywords, and using AI/human moderators to police content, aimed at ensuring political stability

Typical communist tactic... Allowing people access to the truth is never a good idea if you don’t want them to know the truth... Putin doesn’t want anybody to know what a failure he is, has been and always will be.

His eventual epitaph... Pathetic wanna be madman dictator and failed Russian politician.
