Answer
Linux VPS in Russia start at $4.00 per month at our MOW-2 · Butovo facility. Russia sits outside every Western enforcement channel — Council of Europe cooperation ended in 2022, and neither DMCA nor DSA has force there. Deployment takes 55 seconds, no identity is collected, and payment settles on-chain.

Why Russia
Russia is outside every Western enforcement channel — Council of Europe cooperation ended in 2022 and neither DMCA nor DSA has force there. In exchange, Russian law applies in full, including mandatory SORM interception at the operator level. Choose it only when your threat model is specifically Western.
- EU and US court orders have no enforcement path; MLAT cooperation suspended since 2022 2022
- US DMCA and EU DSA carry no legal force in Russian courts 2008
- Data-localisation duty applies to Russian citizens’ personal data 2015
The trade-off
We publish this one straight because the honest version is the useful version: Russia removes Western legal reach and replaces it with Russian legal reach, including SORM interception obligations at the operator level. It is the right answer for a narrow threat model and the wrong answer for a general one. Assume network-level observation and encrypt accordingly.

§03 FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01 How much is a vps in Russia?
Pricing runs $4.00 to $100.00 monthly at MOW-2 · Butovo. The price covers DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and unrestricted root access.
02 Why choose Russia for this?
Russia is beyond Western legal reach: Council of Europe cooperation ceased in 2022, and DMCA and DSA lack force. In exchange, SORM interception applies at the operator level. Choose this for workloads whose adversaries are Western only, for CIS-region latency, or when you need in-country mirrors.
03 What is the catch with Russia?
The honest trade-off: Russia swaps Western legal reach for Russian legal reach, including operator-level SORM obligations. This fits a narrow threat model, not a general one. Assume network monitoring and encrypt only if that assumption is wrong.
04 Do you require identity verification in Russia?
No. The same token-only model applies in all 16 locations — no name, email, phone or ID at any point, and crypto-only settlement.
