The Great Firewall of Russia ... Works the same as European Fuel Sanctions?
Very decent factual analysis for a foreigner:

📣 Please note that this is a pro-western YouTube channel (albeit quite impartial, maybe due to it being heavily Asian influenced?) . What I like even more - upvoted pro-Russian comments are shown at the bottom =) Because freedom of speech. 🔇
💸 What baffles me - the actually working sanctions (at the moment) ... 🤷 are working most potently against Europeans and pro-western CIS people (not corporations, though oligarchs took a hit personally).
💩 The real shit part as usual - are semi-conductors and most crucial web services (or lack thereof in Russia).
🚨 Also what is notable (for people outside of Russia) despite the golden share and the state control of Yandex ... the behavior of their employees ... sometimes borders on treason, not kidding or exaggerating here.
🪑🪑But Yandex is universally hated for their "special snowflake" culture and their desire to have their cake and eat it too.
