Here's the tricky question: how do you let journalism out (and truth in) of Russia without letting Putin out? How far down could we go in the OSI stack? If you really wanted to raise some new hairs on Putin you'd disconnect the trunk, but there would be suffering. Could we invent a best of both? Radio is attractive, but can be detected and triangulated (although receiving is fine). Plausible deniability (high entropy signals) is a theory. How do we exfiltrate?

I talked with some Russians who assumed their country would unpeer with the West. I asked about Starlink and they were pessimistic, saying that the receivers would be banned and smuggling them in wouldn't work. An extremely severe and depressing prediction, but who knows these days.. If things truly did get that bad.. Setup a number of highly focused/directional wifi links near the border, ideally with irregular transmission schedules to make it harder to catch. Use a popular decentralized multiplayer game's protocol (e.g. Minecraft) as cover for P2P requesting and distributing content.

  Are satellite phones an option? Although it may be very expensive. Or what if we broadcast some kind of long range radio signal that can be read even if its not written to. Something in binary that can be consumed digitally - say we broadcast the source code for some useful tools, or simply news. I am making this up as i type but maybe there is some sort of software that takes in radio signal, converts it into binary data and can be used on regular pcs.
