Genèse d’un autoritarisme numérique. Répressions et résistances sur internet en Russie, 2012-2022

Françoise Daucé, Benjamin Loveluck and Francesca Musiani (Eds.)

In the wake of the USSR’s collapse, the Russian Internet initially developed freely, leaving the initiative to numerous actors who invented digital tools tailored to suit their uses.

In short, they drive us to innovate.
