This one is a quite complete story as far as I can tell. They cite a meduza piece in English from 2019 with a lot of detail too. https://meduza.io/en/feature/2019/12/31/soviet-internet-sovereignty Take your own conclusions. My conclusion is that Alexei Soldatov is treated in the all too familiar way that Russian Czars have dealt with people who did a lot for country and society but who -themselves or whose close relatives- say and do things that are inconvenient for the current Czars. Again, read, talk to people and draw your own conclusions. Daniel
