As Russian Federation is quickly becoming Fortress Besieged (Осаждённая крепость), President Putin announced Russia’s detox program.

Russian elite is claiming Russian citizens within won’t lose much. Kremlin has a self-purification plan to detox citizens of the Russian Federation from previously widely adopted and loved (but now sanctioned) Western services, products, and media. According to Kremlin, Western social media like @youtube and @twitter could be successfully replaced by home-based, often plagiarized Russian social media. Here is the Kremlin’s plan.

Cancel @facebook and replace it with Russian-based social media @VK.

Cancel @intstagram and replace it with Russain-based @OK or soon to be launched @instagram knockoff @Rossgram.
