Russia has imposed permanent internet restrictions: what is now blocked

The authorities in Russia have introduced permanent restrictions on mobile internet in the city of Ulyanovsk and several districts of the region. According to the Center for Counteracting Disinformation, local residents are complaining that even permitted resources do not work, complicating access to important online services.

According to Glavkom, local authorities justify these restrictions by claiming to 'protect special purpose facilities', but analysts believe that this is just a new form of digital isolation. From March 1, 2026, 'Roskomnadzor' will be able to block websites without a court order for 'disseminating prohibited content'.

Conclusion

The introduction of permanent restrictions on mobile internet in Russia indicates the country's inclination towards digital censorship and control of information. This may have serious consequences for freedom of speech and access to information in the future.
