Makes me wonder if this wasn't Putin's goal all along. Completely breaking the Russian population off of the free internet means they'll be fed only propaganda.

Makes me wonder if this wasn't Putin's goal all along. Completely breaking the Russian population off of the free internet means they'll be fed only propaganda.
