## 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.

**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.

## Legal basis

| Claim | Instrument | Year |
| --- | --- | --- |
| EU and US court orders have no enforcement path; MLAT cooperation suspended since 2022 | Council of Europe expulsion, 16 Mar 2022 — Russia ceased to be a party to CoE conventions | 2022 |
| US DMCA and EU DSA carry no legal force in Russian courts | Civil Code Part IV — domestic copyright procedure only | 2008 |
| Data-localisation duty applies to Russian citizens’ personal data | Federal Law 242-FZ on personal data localisation | 2015 |
| SORM lawful-interception infrastructure is mandatory for operators | Federal Law 374-FZ ("Yarovaya package") | 2016 |

## Frequently asked questions

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.
