Update: It turns out it was a ISP issue and certainly not a national problem since my Moscow friends had no trouble logging onto any website name I shot at them - including the New Jersey site most of us are familiar with.
He did say that though he knows the Prosecutor's Office has the green light to block sites allegedly disseminating "alternative lifestyle propaganda" to children. Enough on that.
At the same time, he has no great expectations that the bureaucrats will be able to help themselves from blocking any number of sites that they either get ordered to by the President or the FSB or - well, even people with a lot of money and nothing better to do with it.
I agree with him that it's probably not going to be a noticeable problem for quite some time (at least a year down the road).

Oh - and as far as the Russian-based sites, yes they often have incredible photos. Just don't try to buy anything and you won't be breaking any laws unless the items you want to buy are located outside the RF, in which case the government can't really do anything except ask you to give them back - or buy them as a gift for the RF.
