No it’s not. This is similar to “Russia trying to have a new moon program”. Not happening ever.
The first part may happen, the second part - ahahaha.
I live in Russia.
“Russian trying to build its own LAN” is the way I read it lol. You can’t have “inter” with no other peers.
Large intranets are not a problem (that’s how it was in the beginning in many places, rather fast and unlimited access to LAN resources, chats etc, but slow and expensive to the Internet), it’s just that nothing inside Russia is going to be self-sufficient.
Also every dick without balls in a chair will try to get some control or share or get a bribe or just prevent this from happening so that his relative or something would get the contract.
This wasn’t a factor with the large Internet being accessible (unbeatable competition), but will be with intranets (or a countrywide intranet). Nothing will get built. In the 90s such dicks simply didn’t understand that this is a good business, so they allowed it to grow (still all the major telecom providers that survived had some connections with FSB etc, or so people say).
Russian here. This is a super old claim from our government and is a common source of jokes, it’s even called “Cheburnet” (from Cheburashka) colloquially, nobody really treats such claims seriously. Last time Russian government tried to influence internet was when they struggled to ban telegram for several years, and ended up giving up, endorsing it, and moving their official resources to it.
If you can’t beat them, join them.
The Russian Federation wants to defederate from the Internet lol
Good luck with that. Maybe they can join North Korea‘s server.
It’s the Russian Defederation now
They just want to remove their citizens from the internet, not themselves. It’s too useful for disinformation and general fuckery.
