> I’m not pleased to inform you that RosComNadzor, a Russian Communication 
> supervisory body, has started blocking huge ranges of IPs belonging to 
> different cloud infrastructures, mostly Amazon and Google Cloud.
> Those ranges include: 13.52.0.0/14, 13.56.0.0/14, 18.184.0.0/15, 
> 18.194.0.0/15, 18.196.0.0/15, 34.192.0.0/10, 34.240.0.0/13, 34.248.0.0/13, 
> 35.156.0.0/14, 35.160.0.0/13, 35.176.0.0/15, 52.0.0.0/11, 52.192.0.0/11, 
> 52.208.0.0/13, 52.28.0.0/15, 52.58.0.0/15, 54.144.0.0/12, 54.160.0.0/12, 
> 54.228.0.0/15, 54.72.0.0/15, 54.88.0.0/16.

> Russian ISPs MUST fully block all traffic to such networks. The list is 
> frequently updated and gets automatically propagated to ISP every once in a 
> while, failure to block any address may result in 1500eur fine.  
> The infrastructure listed above is being added to the blocklist under 
> “counter-terrorist and counter-extremist” order of the General Prosecutor 
> Office, #27-31-2015/Id4082-15, issued in 2015 and often used for blocking an 
> arbitrary unwanted content.
> The real reason for such blocking is an attempt to cut access to Telegram 
> messenger, which refused to provide end-to-end encryption keys to the Federal 
> Security Service (previously known as KGB). This is a case similar to 
> San-Bernardino shooter’s, where the FBI was denied access to the shooter’s 
> iPhone, but courts in Russia have made completely opposite decision.
> Telegram’s infrastructure is being blocked by a different decision by 
> RosKomNadzor, #2-1779/2018.
> Cloud infrastructures are being blocked for massive proxy and VPN hosting 
> used to dodge messenger blocking.
> 
> It is said, that more Apple and Google networks may be blocked soon for apps 
> updates and push notifications delivery for Telegram.  
> 
> We hope to still have the global IP connectivity to keep you informed about 
> how the situation develops.
> Do not be surprised if some of your services placed in cloud infrastructures 
> will miss Russian customers.
> 
> You can monitor the number of IP addresses, domains and URLs to be blocked in 
> Russia at the https://2018.schors.spb.ru/ page (run by the famous ENOG 
> community member Phil Kulin).
> Detailed information (also via API) is available at the 
> https://reestr.rublacklist.net run by RosKomSvoboda civil society group.
