Russia Is Trying to Leave the Internet and Build Its Own
(www.scientificamerican.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Russian here. This is a super old claim from our government and is a common source of jokes, it's even called "Cheburnet" (from Cheburashka) colloquially, nobody really treats such claims seriously. Last time Russian government tried to influence internet was when they struggled to ban telegram for several years, and ended up giving up, endorsing it, and moving their official resources to it.
If you can't beat them, join them.
