North Korea did this already. I expect that Russia's effort will be as good if not better. Bonus comedy points if they use NK's effort as a starting point.

But I wouldn't try to use it if my Internet location was outside Russia. Or maybe even if it wasn't.

Also: something something falling out something something Windows.

I'm not gonna use this shit regardless. Even if it remains the only option for an OS in Russia, I'm gonna fucking smuggle a proper Linux distro in.
