Nah, the bot farms and hacker groups would still have access to the goal net. It's just the Russian populace that would get cut off from the rest of us, nothing even a VPN could fix.
A satellite dish can fix some things, but you'd need an uplink still. So to a large extent back to "enemy voices".
That's theory, in practice these people are impotent and can't themselves work in such an environment.
i don't know what that was comment was about, but you can use satellite downlink to transmit data, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toosheh
it's unidirectional so it's more of an cold war era radio free europe in spirit but with modern technology in some way
Which is literally what was jokingly called "enemy voices" in USSR, the comment was about this exactly, and yes, I was thinking about the thing you linked.
