Z-Patriot are Cracking Up as Russia Faces HUGE Internet Blackouts in Capitals!?

from Silicon Curtain · host Jonathan Fink

Silicon Bites Ep333 | 2026-05-07 | Z-patriots are losing their minds, telling Russia that 1917 is coming again. But history does not repeat in such convenient ways – but it may well rhyme. Moscow and St Petersburg cut off again from mobile internet, forty regions blacked out, and the pro-war cheerleaders crack.It is the morning of 5 May 2026. A woman in Moscow wakes up, picks up her phone, and stares at the screen. No notifications. No SMS. No app pings. Nothing. She opens the camera and starts filming herself, in the kitchen, in real time, narrating the moment her capital city has been disconnected from the world.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.
