Well, most russians have no means of bypassing it except by pretending nothing is happening and continue to use proxies en masse while still being caught on the act. I know some people will go i2p, but even being under encrypted traffic means you have something to hide, and usage of i2p networks, even if without data, will show up in the internet provider logs, and government planned to caught even vpn and tor users, so its not a far step from dealing with illegal networking. As of right now i don't know about any new ways, because most russians are happy users of russian social networks (total opposite of US hate of facebook), and right now most of people who get jailed are people who share their real names on the internet. Fuck, most of those laws are ideas given by users themselves who laughed at the government first. And then government hired prominent university students to work for them in blocking stuff and giving technical advises.
Actually its not users that are currently planning secularized internet, but the government itself:
>This autumn, Russia will present two new initiatives in the field of cybersecurity to the UN. One of the resolutions, writes Kommersant, will contain a set of rules for the conduct of states on the Internet, the second will call for a radical review of the current system of combating cybercrime. Moscow primarily counts on the support of the CSTO, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the BRICS, realizing that Russia and the EU are likely to reject Russian proposals. At the same time, the Russian authorities intend to intensify work on creating an "alternative Internet", beyond their ideological rivals.
They're not just presenting for UN itself ideas for secularized internet, they are already on path to close on foreign internet traffic:
>According to the document, in 2024 the share of internal traffic of RuNet, routed through foreign servers, should not exceed 5%. In the plan approved in January 2018, it was 10%. It is noteworthy that two years earlier, the Ministry of Communications (the predecessor of the Ministry of Finance) planned to transfer 99% of Russian Internet traffic by 2020, compared to 70% in 2014. In addition, the Ministry of Communications wanted to duplicate in Russia 99% of the critical infrastructure of the Internet.
And last but not least, russia had the idea for BRICS countries to establish their own internet network:
>Curious details of the protocol of the meeting of the Security Council of Russia, signed by President Putin in early November, continue to be revealed. At this meeting, which was held on November 26, the Security Council instructed the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation to initiate, within the framework of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) by August 1, 2018, the issue of creating a " root domain name servers (DNS), independent of the control of [international organizations] ICANN, IANA and VeriSign and capable of servicing the requests of users of the listed countries in case of failures or targeted impacts. "
>The Security Council explains its initiative by the fact that Russia's security is threatened by the "increased capabilities of Western countries to conduct offensive operations in the information space and the readiness for their application." "The US and a number of European Union countries continue to dominate the issues of Internet network management," the document states.
