The internet has become an integral part of our daily lives, providing us with a wealth of information and connecting us with people from all over the world. However, the history of the internet in Russia has been a tumultuous one, with the government imposing strict regulations and censorship on online content.

The first internet connection in Russia was established in 1990, when a group of scientists from the Moscow State University connected to the internet via a satellite link. However, it wasn’t until the mid-1990s that the internet began to gain popularity in Russia, with the emergence of internet cafes and the availability of dial-up connections.
