So, Moscow is at war with the internet & is singling out bloggers for the old KGB treatment. The ChiComs have been doing this for years. But does this mean ordinary Russians cannot access international news online?

BTW I grew up with shortwave radio & still listen to my trusty Zenith Trans-Oceanic. During the Cold War the communist bloc used to operate jamming stations & Cuba still does.

Can’t people in Russia listen to shortwave broadcasts? How about satellite?

Russians can probably still access a wide range of foreign media sources, but how many speak and read a different language?
