Why do they turn off the Internet in Russia, even in those regions that drones cannot reach?

The authorities consider such measures as a tool in case of internal instability: law enforcement agencies can work out scenarios for restricting mobile communications during mass protests and rallies in order to control the coordination and dissemination of information.

Although it has not yet turned into a completely closed model like the Chinese one, the controls and restrictions are noticeably increasing every year.

Moreover, the president has already made concessions, signing an order to expand the staff and increase state support for the army.

But if the war drags on, then it is quite possible to expect an overthrow as a result of an uprising.
