In Russia technology developed a world apart from Silicon Valley and that didn’t chance once the Soviet Union collapsed, over 25 years later and Russia has copied large parts of the web the rest of us know and love, they went ahead and built a Russian internet and with new laws cooked up by the Kremlin and rubber-stamped in Moscow it’s becoming more and more a souvenir internet but like everything that is souvenir it needs walls to protect it.
