Russian here. It's only small part of what is coming from the goverment in near future... Soon, if you are using/registering ".ru"-domain and use it, you will have to "register" it in gov - pay ~30$ and wait for 5 days. If you doesn't do that, then created site can be immediately blocked via providers with no warning on any day. So a lot of us moving to .com now adays... Worst is yet to come. Now we have a blacklist of domains, and maybe have to expect whitelist in 2015 or so.
