Русский киберпанк. Как Кремль и олигархи строят 'цифровой ГУЛАГ' — и кто этому сопротивляется

Mnogie vosprinimai͡ut Rossii͡u kak stranu pobedivshego 't͡sifrovogo GULAGa'. Na samom dele situat͡sii͡a interesnee i slozhnee: sovremennai͡a Rossii͡a - strana pobedivshego kiberpanka. Kak ustroena sistema proslushki vsekh telefonnykh razgovorov i internet-trafika ot FSB - i kak ostavatʹsi͡a nevidimym dli͡a nee? Deĭstvitelʹno li Pavel Durov sdaet nashu perepisku v Telegram po zvonku s Lubi͡anki? Kak Khristo Grozev do sikh por spokoĭno pokupaet na rynke probiva samye chuvstvitelʹnye personalʹnye dannye - i deĭstvitelʹno li ėtot rynok kryshui͡ut siloviki?

Many perceive Russia as the country of the victorious "digital Gulag". In fact, the situation is more interesting and more complicated: modern Russia is the country of the victorious cyberpunk. How does the system of wiretapping all telephone conversations and Internet traffic from the FSB work — and how to remain invisible to it? Is Pavel Durov really submitting our correspondence to Telegram on a call from Lubyanka? How does Hristo Grozev still calmly buy the most sensitive personal data on the probiv market — and is this market really being protected by the security forces? Will the authorities be able to build Cheburnet? The book by Andrei Zakharov, one of the leading Russian-speaking investigative journalists, collects these amazing stories and dozens of others into a single narrative in which you can find many reasons to be horrified, but you can also find hope: despite the fact that the state has been trying to control the digital space for years, Russians have been successfully resisting and undermining the Kremlin's efforts. Andrey Zakharov worked for <url>, RBC magazine, and the publication 'The Project' and the BBC Russian Service. He is the author of investigations about Vladimir Putin's family and the penetration market, the book 'Crypta' and the film 'His War' is about Russia's hybrid invasion of Ukraine in 2014.
