Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said there was no need to block external internet in Russia, but it was necessary to “block destructive things.” He shared his opinion in an interview with Russian media. RIA News.
“So I’ll start with whether we should separate ourselves. No, of course, and that’s almost unrealistic in the modern world. There you can slightly change something, block something, to be frank, but completely isolating yourself is unrealistic and unnecessary. “As such groups increase, the interest in them also increases, this needs to be understood,” he said.
