IF this is true, could be for any of the following:
1. Keep Russia’s population from learning the truth of Putin’s war atrocities.
2. Make retaliation to their own cyber-attacks impossible.
3. Keep their state and business secrets from being compromised by non-Russians.
4. Keep their peoples’ emails, texts, social-media accounts from being exploited by western intelligence to “eavesdrop” on Russia’s public sentiment.
At least those seem to be the most pressing needs from where I sit.

Bitcoins got kicked out of Russia months ago.

Of course. But the real point is there are bound to be millions of Russians who will need to find something else to do for five or six hours a day. Those will be very unhappy Russians.

For my part, in many ways, I wish the internet never was invented. The destruction it wreaks far outweighs it’s usefulness.
Information wall as they used to do during Soviet era.
Isolate population from outside events, cut off external source for negative news on war.
Just think if there’s a Nuclear War the bunkers will be full of ancient politicians doing nothing but waste resources
Gotta have the right outlook on that situation. It’s a Good time to weld the doors shut and fill the entrance holes in with dirt. Plug up the ventilation stacks and walk away whistling.
If true, the monster will have almost turned Russia into N. Korea in less than two weeks.
There is only one way out Russia...
