The Kremlin says its “sovereign internet” law, which was signed by President Vladimir Putin in May, is a security measure to protect Russia in the event of an emergency or foreign threat like a cyberattack. The law will allow Moscow to tighten control over the country’s internet by routing web traffic through state-controlled infrastructure and creating a national system of domain names.

In theory, the measure would allow Russia to operate its own internal networks that could run independently from the rest of the World Wide Web.

tcp/ip is designed to be distributed, and to route around outages.
I know because I used the US military internet built in the early 1980's as a
young US Navy communications officer.
Putin and his mobsters are late to the party.
China went with the Great Firewall, but the govt chases its tail with hourly changed VPN addresses.

Russian techs are just as brilliant as any other developed nation with great engineering schools.
Putin is 40 years too late.
