Sanction online platforms for censoring Russian media

Over the last decade, Russian authorities have built legal tools and technical capacities to be able to control internet infrastructure and digital content. Moscow's most recent attempt to tame the internet consists of a pair of bills signed by President Putin on December 30, 2020 that sanction online platforms for censoring Russian media and fines them for not removing information banned in Russia.

Supports holding esports tournaments in schools

Putin expressed support for holding esports tournaments in schools to help Russian gamers perform better at an international level. Among the first nations to officially recognize esports as a sports discipline in 2016, Russia looks to make esports culture a larger part of the school curriculum. Reports suggested that Putin legitimizing esports in schools will "contribute to the destruction of clichＴ in the minds of many parents that computer games are a pure evil," according to Realnoe Vremya.
