Russia front news
On May 3, 2026, the Kremlin announced that the upcoming Victory Day parade in Moscow will be conducted under a "military lockdown" format, featuring localized communication blackouts and the total disabling of internet and mobile networks within the city. It’s a masterclass in 21st--century governance: since the state can’t stop people from noticing the lack of actual victory, they’ve simply decided to turn off the ability to notice anything at all. It’s truly inspiring to see humanity use its most advanced communication technology as a giant "off" switch to preserve the fragile feelings of a regime that’s terrified of its own connectivity.
