To answer your question, mostly yes. If a majority of the countries that peer with them added BGP filters they would vanish from the internet. The few remaining peers advertising them would be saturated and overwhelmed. Should it be done? I don't think so. In my opinion most of the Russian people would not be aligned with what is occurring. Certainly the families of Russian soldiers stand to lose their loved ones just as the families of Ukrainian soldiers stand to lose their loved ones. Soldiers on both sides have kids that will be devastated. I would rather the entire planet get to share their thoughts, share videos of the travesties and let people experience the real pain and loss. The only person that benefits from keeping Russians in the dark is their leader in my opinion. Along this line lets not recreate the mistakes and shortsightedness of our past. One of my family members had to march German citizens through the death camps of WWII to prove what atrocities occurred. They did not have the advantage of the internet and the civilians only believed what their newspapers printed. I would personally rather we keep the internet as open as possible so that the entire world can see how incredibly ridiculous and disgusting this is as real time and uncensored as technically possible.
