It's Begun! Kremlin Attempts to Shut Down Internet. Russians Are Very Concerned - The Russian Dude



Russia is rapidly dismantling its once-thriving digital infrastructure in a shocking push to isolate its population from the modern world. In this video, we expose how the Kremlin is targeting internet freedom, using military-grade signal jamming, app shutdowns, and disinformation to suffocate the last independent space left for ordinary Russians—online communication.

With the war in Ukraine as a convenient excuse, Putin's regime is testing mass censorship tools and national internet shutdowns under the guise of “security” and “patriotism.” From the failed launch of “Max,” Russia’s doomed messaging app, to car rentals stalling mid-drive due to GPS blackouts, and people unable to call ambulances or report fires, the consequences are already deadly. Government-manufactured “bad reception” is no accident—it’s the point. As the Kremlin blames “Ukrainian drones” for outages that are clearly internal sabotage, even pro-regime Russians are starting to crack. This is not just about banning Instagram or blocking Wikipedia—it’s about total control. Total obedience. Total information lockdown.

As with the Soviet cake shortage before its collapse, the destruction of internet access is beginning to spark dangerous doubts. Could this be the final straw for Putin’s Russia? Watch now to understand how far the regime is willing to go to shut down digital life—and why millions of Russians are finally waking up.
