And what you Russia gain from that?

Keeping russians from reading unapproved media. You know, the kind that tells something closer to the truth than "ukraine loves russia for saving them from their jewish nazi leader".

I doubt that. The majority are using plain old proxies and VPNs. A very temporary attack on Tor would hardly make a dent.

There's near-constant ddosing on Tor of darknet markets, some if it might've spilled over. Even more likely a random group is doing it because they can. Russia is definitely not the only or main choice even if they are on everyone's minds currently.

Watch the big wallets
