Russia is considering shutting down the internet connection to the rest of the globe. What will occur? Is the hash rate decreasing? What will happen if the connection is re-established in a few years?

Tricky question but mostly response would probably will not affect. Their hash rate isnt high compared to others and that fraction wouldnt badge bitcoin market or community. Russia is going a tough times right now, but Im sure their idea will jot pursue as people would probably condemned their President if ever Putin decided to do this.

For some reason, no one here is wondering why in Russia they decided to suddenly turn off the Internet. A few days ago, Facebook and Twitter were blocked there, and now they want to turn off the Internet altogether. The reason for this is simple: Putin does not want Russian citizens to know information about the real reasons for the invasion of Ukraine, the course of the war in Ukraine, heavy losses in manpower and equipment, rocket and bomb attacks on residential areas of cities, schools, hospitals and other similar objects, and therefore, so that riots against the bloody regime of Putin do not ripen among the people. Especially if citizens realize that their former life has deteriorated sharply precisely because of the attack on peaceful Ukraine.
At this forum, the Russians quite often approved of Putin's actions. I would like to know how they now relate to the fact that they are going to be cut off from the outside world?
