thanks apple. putin is scum and the longer his goons enjoy a normal life the worse. make russian lives as bad as possible so we can have ukraine back.
The average russian citizen is not putin’s goon
Indeed, the goons don't care, they use Russian services
keep telling that to yourself. just because they dont act like what you consider a goon doesnt mean they arent. we have this saying: if 9 ppl sit at a table and 1 nazi sits down with them and none walks away, bam, you have 10 nazis. so.
An entire fucking country isn’t a small gathering bro, are you high
This is a bad move. The more Russian citizens have access to outside information, the better chance they can learn what's actually happening in Ukraine and the amount of damage the government is doing to their own country. The more Russians that have exposure to that information, it becomes more likely that the people will show their dissatisfaction. Without VPN, the people only have access to the internal propaganda.
like they did learn anything when it was open with Michail Sergejewitsch Gorbatschow. russians as a whole havent learned basic lessons of civilisation. your logic also failed in china.
Wasn't that the Shock Doctrine strategy from back in 1996? Anyone remember what followed?
wrong year. making russian lives bad was before it successfully ended the terrible UDSSR regime.
That's an incredibly curious reading of the Cold War. I'm going to run off and assume you thought the world economy was doing great in the 1980s except in the Soviet Bloc?
