On the bases of the new law, any information on Russian websites should go through state-controlled check points, meaning that Russian Internet will be switch off from the worldwide web and the Kremlin’s control will increase over it.
 
The initiators of this law Andrei Klishas and Lyudmila Bokova said that the budget of the “sovereign internet” law is 1.8. million Rubles.
 
In March, thousands of people protested in the capital, Moscow, against the law. The opponents of the law said that it is the Kremlin’s attempt to tighten control and censorship.
