Explore safety. While people were not meant to work during the lockdown, there was nothing to stop them socialising or travelling in Russia or abroad. Travel agents reported a boom in people flying off on foreign beach holidays. In Moscow, all shops apart from pharmacies and supermarkets were meant to close, but some pubs and beauty salons were still working.

Kryuchkov said rather than relaxing the curbs, regions such as Moscow and St Petersburg should be expanding them and keeping them in place for longer. That is not a very good scenario," he said. Aleksandr Litreev, a software developer who fled to to Estona amid Russia's opposition crackdown.

In , Litreev made his first significant venture into opposition politics. Petersburg that turned into a general rebuke of widespread corruption and political repression. Litreev's contribution was an app called Red Button. If protesters thought they were at risk of arrest, they could open the app and press the big red button it presented.

That would automatically call a lawyer, who also receives the protester's emergency contact details and a GPS signal of their location. It was used extensively by demonstrators at the time, which got the attention of Kremlin authorities. Litreev, then 21 and fresh out of university, was motivated to join the opposition movement as he watched the Kremlin ratchet up internet restrictions.

A law allowed the telecommunications regulator, Roskomnadzor, to block access to online media that called for "unsanctioned mass public events. The law was used as a pretext to ban Telegram , a platform created by eccentric Russian-born developer Pavel Durov that doubles as an instant messenger and a social media platform.

Durov is now based in Dubai. It allows for encrypted messages between people, like WhatsApp, but also for public figures and groups to create "channels" that can have millions of followers. Russian authorities wanted control over Telegram, and stopping them became Litreev's next project.

Thousands rallied for "internet freedom" in after Roskomnadzor banned Telegram. Many protested by bringing paper planes, Telegram's symbol. Roskomnadzor's stated goal was to fight terrorist attacks, like a train bombing in St. Petersburg , which it claimed were spreading thanks to Telegram and apps like it. Durov refused, calling the request both unconstitutional and technically untenable. What followed was a game of hide-and-seek that lasted for two years.

Roskomnadzor banned Telegram in April , pulling down the app's servers. Scores of Russian internet users -- dubbed the Digital Resistance -- countered by hosting Telegram on proxy servers, which Roskomnadzor found and banned too. For his part, Litreev helped create software that deployed millions of proxy servers at once, making it impossible for Russian authorities to manually pull them down individually.

Those attempts to ban Telegram were unsuccessful. Not only did the service remain accessible, its Russian user base actually grew. Meanwhile, with authorities hastily banning up to 19 million IP addresses, Google and Amazon services were briefly unusable throughout Russia.

Roskomnadzor had a choice: either block a huge range of IP addresses and risk more catastrophic blackouts, or rescind the ban on Telegram. After two years, Roskomnadzor relented, lifting its Telegram ban last June on the grounds that the company would help it with terrorism inquiries in the future.

The Digital Resistance won this battle, the latest in a war that had been going on since Russia is often grouped with China as a troublesome autocracy. A common misconception related to this comparison is that Russia has always had a fiercely censored internet.
