Moreover, many websites now only allow login via state-affiliated identity providers and if you're one of those people that prefer email you're forced to use .ru email that is, in turn, requires validation via mobile phone, and it is now illegal to have an anonymous SIM card. Basically, any online forum user can be _trivially_ tracked down to a real person. What a great day to be a hacker really.
