Russia's internet is being reshaped in real time. The FSB launched a simultaneous offensive this spring — mass blocking of VPN protocols, pressure on platforms to filter traffic, and the effective blocking of #Telegram, now accessible only via VPN. On 3 April, a major banking outage left millions unable to make payments, with cash briefly becoming the only option — and the tightening of digital restrictions may have played a role. Behind the headlines, however, the picture is more complex. The crackdown has opened visible rifts within the ruling establishment over the pace and scope of restrictions, with the approaching #Duma elections raising the political stakes. The policy is being driven by the security bloc, but resistance is coming from unexpected quarters — and Putin's own role in the process is more ambiguous than it appears.
I have just released R.Politik Bulletin No. 7 (181), examining the internet crackdown in depth — who is driving it, who is pushing back, and what the emerging "white list" framework reveals about the kind of internet #Russia is actually building.
The bulletin also covers the broader strategic picture. Moscow's reading of the #Iran war and the US-Iran negotiations is reinforcing the Kremlin's maximalist stance on #Ukraine — with #Trump's credibility as a negotiating partner continuing to erode.
At home, the economic pressures of a prolonged war are being managed through increasingly creative mechanisms. At #Putin's RSPP congress, the wartime dynamic between the state and big business was on full display — with oligarchs pledging 'voluntary' contributions to the budget in an environment that leaves increasingly little room for economic actors to maintain distance from the Kremlin.
Meanwhile, a new draft AI law is positioning the security services at the centre of Russia's technology future, with Western companies set to be effectively locked out — another front in the broader push for state control over strategic sectors. …

Как создать говорящего AI-аватара из фотографии: делаю видеовизитку в Telegram за 2 минуты
Загружаешь фото, пишешь текст — через 2 минуты бот в Telegram присылает видео, где человек на фото произносит этот текст. Сделал бота AvatarBox на HeyGen API. Рассказываю пошагово: как подготовить фото, написать текст, выбрать голос, и для каких задач это реально полезно — видеовизитки, презентации, контент без показа лица. И что не работает: длинные видео, жесты, песни.
