Cracking down on DNM sites is currently a low priority for the Russian government. The result of this has been proliferation of Russian language DNM sites that largely operate in the open and on an open blockchain.

How do you think things like global-scale shifts in power or protocol updates will affect the blockchains these DNMs operate on?

You can't make a transaction without the state breathing down your neck in the US and EU.

The west has become more tyrannical and communist than Russia.

Not to mention that if you are selling drugs from an independent supplier you are directly competing with the US government, they don't like that since they are the biggest drug dealer in the world.
