There’s a funny moment in almost every conversation with a Russian on Twitter when you ask him why on earth he’s using a VPN to access X and is he afraid of something?

The response from the world’s cultural capital and the Third Rome is wonderful from a clinical point of view, so I will quote it in whole (you have been CWarned):

You faggot, they’ve fucked your whole brain up the arse. That’s a fact. I don’t need a VPN out of fear; I don’t have to fear anything in my own country. I need a VPN to get round the bans [imposed] by the morons working at the regulator. It’s you who’ve scurried off to your burrow like a rat; you’re scared, you little faggot. You’re pathetic, a worn-out condom.”

I wanted to ask him who actually appointed the “morons working at the regulator”. Maybe the infamous Anglo-Saxons did it?

Well, no, it was Prime Minister Mishustin in 2020, but he’ll never find out because he’s already blocked me after his rant.

He didn’t delete the post, though, which is actually quite forward-thinking because what he wrote falls under Article 319 of the Russian Criminal Code, namely “insulting state authorities”.
