It's Begun! Kremlin Puts Back 'The Iron Curtain'. Internet No Longer Accessible - The Russian Dude

[TexasTowelie]

The Kremlin has pulled the trigger on a full-scale digital crackdown, bringing back the Iron Curtain in the form of internet censorship. WhatsApp and Telegram voice and video calls—the last lifeline of free communication for millions of Russians—are now blocked by Roscomnadzor. No glitches, no excuses, just a direct state order. This move is part of a broader strategy to silence dissent, isolate citizens, and push them onto the Kremlin’s own surveillance-heavy messaging app, MAX. What looks like a ban on foreign apps is really psychological warfare and preparation for even harsher control. Reports of “drone drills” and regional mobile blackouts reveal the regime’s test runs for total information shutdowns. Combined with record wartime spending and collapsing social stability, this ban is a warning sign of larger plans in motion. Every blackout, every ban, every forced migration to state platforms is the Kremlin rehearsing for its next escalation. Russia’s leadership knows free communication is more dangerous than any weapon, which is why they are slamming the digital Iron Curtain down before the next conflict explodes.
