Hello Stas!

True. It could just be all talk, no substance.  BUT.. there is  
the promised "report" at the of August - so they say.

Interesting.  So, officially, Crimea has no internet?

This is an old article from last year, but it seems to imply  
that the cut-off/control of accessing certain domains was  
legalized and made official:

of-a-free-access-to-the-global-internet/

The article says, "since there is quite a number of network  
entry points into the country and they are not controlled from  
one specific center."    But can't the RF (Russian Federation)  
make a sweeping proclomation and direct all ISP's within the  
country to impose filters and block anything and everything  
that the gov't wants?  It seems that China and Korea have been  
successful in doing that.
