The user experience of an Internet user in Russia it has little to do with what anyone in the rest of the world would have. During the last few weeks, the country governed by Putin has blocked access to widely used Western tools such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter as a protest against the policies promoted by these companies after the invasion of Ukraine. However, the plans of businessmen in the country to launch new platforms to replace them, to date, are not coming together.
