>Russian government departments and state-owned companies have been instructed to urgently stop using the Windows operating system against the background of the decision of its manufacturer, the American corporation Microsoft, to curtail business in Russia.
awesome! I thought they might just stick with Windows 7 or something. The sanctionists' self-destruction keeps getting more impressive.
>The familiar OS of the state structure is urgently being changed to Astra Linux, which has been developed on the Debian distribution kit since 2008 by the Rusbitech company.
doesn't look like it's easy to get outside of Russia.

>i can't use any non-personal vpn in russia, i cant use tor without finding bridges, any site can be blocked without court verdict by a snap of fingers. And they are blocked a lot, it forums, linked in, any site ever which has a post about russia in negative can be banned one day. They probably would block wiki and jewtube eventually. There is only two good things in russias internet: you wont be destroyed for torrenting (de facto), btw we have tax on every storage device because gov supposes that we would use it for piracy.
I would prefer dementia mans firewall, it at least pretends to be free, and your laws do work sometimes.
