Same initiatives going on in most western countries, and worldwide...

"
The Russian government is working on updating its technology laws so
it can ban the use of modern internet protocols that can hinder its
surveillance and censorship capabilities. According to a copy of the
proposed law amendments and an explanatory note, the ban targets
internet protocols and technologies such as TLS 1.3, DoH, DoT, and
ESNI. Moscow officials aren't looking to ban HTTPS and encrypted
communications as a whole, as these are essential to modern-day
financial transactions, communications, military, and critical
infrastructure. Instead, the government wants to ban the use of
internet protocols that hide "the name (identifier) of a web page"
inside HTTPS traffic.
