Russia | VPN and Digital Asset Crackdown Deepens Digital and Financial Control

The Russian regime is once again escalating control over both internet access and digital assets. Officials have ordered more than 20 major companies — including banks, retailers, and media outlets — to actively block users from accessing their platforms via virtual private network (VPN) services. To enforce the measures, officials handed companies a blacklist of prohibited VPNs along with instructions for detecting and blocking them. Firms that refuse to comply risk losing privileged regulatory status, including tax benefits and mandatory pre-installation on devices sold in Russia. Simultaneously, Russia’s central bank is pushing new rules requiring identity verification for digital asset traders using domestic platforms, which would make it harder for Russians to withdraw funds into self-custodial wallets without authoritarian state permission. Together, the measures tighten control over two of the last available avenues for digital and financial privacy in Russia. FinancialFreedomReport.org
