Just read this going around..
*" Russia "successfully" tested INTERNET BREAKAWAY - Kremlin ?ready? for sanctions policy (Peskov)
*" Russia has tested the stability of Runet - the Russian part of the global internet - and it?s potential readiness to disconnect from the world wide web in the event of ?external distortions, blockages and other threats?, RBC reports.
" ?We are living in an age when many countries are apologists for the sanctions policy, the policy of restrictions. The tools of this policy are absolutely unpredictable, so you need to be ready for everything,? Kremlin press sec Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
" Although the exact nature of the tests themselves have not been revealed, with a full report due by the end of August.

This all is bullshit. No one can really block all of
Russia on the Internet, just as Russian services cannot
even block the Telegram. At least for now.
PS: It is believed that the entire Crimea is disconnected
from the world wide Internet, but this is not at all the
case. ;)

True. It could just be all talk, no substance. BUT.. there is
the promised "report" at the of August - so they say.

Interesting. So, officially, Crimea has no internet?
This is an old article from last year, but it seems to imply
that the cut-off/control of accessing certain domains was
legalized and made official:
https://crimeahrg.org/en/crimeans-may-be-completely-deprived- of-a-free-access-to-the-global-internet/
The article says, "since there is quite a number of network
entry points into the country and they are not controlled from
one specific center." But can't the RF (Russian Federation)
make a sweeping proclomation and direct all ISP's within the
country to impose filters and block anything and everything
that the gov't wants? It seems that China and Korea have been successful in doing that.

Try the UAE. When you?re there, no video streaming works
and a wide variety of content just ?doesn?t exist?. The
peering points for the ISPs are compelled to go through a
govt controlled filter. It?s at that point that they
quietly impose their censorship
