Russia’s new media landscape: VPN demand grew by 1,092%,

Seems russians want different sources of Information without the prying eyes the state


Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor also moved against foreign social media networks, and Russia banned news reports that aren’t favorable to its military.

Yeah, that had nothing to do with the pandemic and people shifting to telework scenarios.

https://www.statista.com/topics/6548...ork-in-russia/

"Remote work, also known as telework or telecommuting, became increasingly relevant in Russia during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the lockdown in the spring of 2020, most companies were required to transfer employees to remote work. One of the trend's consequences was a wider usage of cloud services, the corporate internet, and tools to facilitate communication between employees, such as group calls or messaging. In general, the possibility to work remotely was seen as convenient by Russians, and 40 percent named it one of the most important criteria while searching for a job in 2021."
