Not sure if that is not playing into Putin's hands. He doesn't want his citizenry online and informed. He wants his Russian version of the internet, isolated from the rest of the world.
Most of them are not in Russia, It would be much easier to find and block them if they were all coming from the same country. Instead, they're scattered all over the place to blend in, and to take advantage of cheap labor.
Okay. But then the thumbnail is clearly showing some power transmission lines? Too many insulators for low power data, and data typically doesn't come in 3-phase.
If you read the article you'll find out that the fibre piggybacks on the structures built for power transmission. And the power transmission has already been halted and is scheduled for dismantling.

The real wealthy will go to Monaco or London, the wealthy will go to Egypt or Thailand. The mass will keep on struggling.
