iPad in Russia

[Finch III, Raymond Charles]

Hasn’t quite reached this point yet, and hopefully never will.  As Mr. Soldatov points out, there is a growing belief among some in the Kremlin that the Internet and all these social media platforms are western-sponsored technological Trojan horses designed to weaken the unity of the Russian state.  Besides government monitoring programs of the Internet, there are moves to create an autarchic, Russian-controlled model, where presumably the state could feed its citizen with only healthy material.  For those who understand Russian, watch the presentation at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiwqdyUng9E

Unfortunately civilians are not allowed to use Apple technology at this moment.

I absolutely do not recommend to bring your gadgets with you unless you don't want to prolong your stay for some years in Siberia.
