“…36 In turn, one of the authors of the highly contentious, recently adopted law package to increase state powers online 37 -Russian parliamentarian Irina Yarovayastated that the internet undermines the idea of sovereignty, encroaches on internal sovereign interests and destroys national security. 38 These internal and external manifestations of Russia's intention to control the flow of information on the internet occurred simultaneously with the 'colour revolutions' in the neighbouring states: 39 namely, revolutions during which civil society actions were largely coordinated on the internet. 40 It should be further noted that the 2011-12 protests in Russia, the largest demonstrations of opposition during the Putin era, also had a sizeable social networking component.…”

The Russian Federation joins a list of countries where violence and terrorism often have a religious and an ethnic basis, and where the authorities seek ways to deal with the issue of online hate speech. In this context, in May 2014 the Russian Parliament enacted Federal Law No 97-FZ (the Bloggers’ Law). This legislation required the compulsory registration of all popular bloggers with the country's internet regulatory agency, Roskomnadzor, thereby forcing the disclosure of their real identities. The Bloggers’ Law has been widely criticised, however, and although the internet community is still engaged in a heated discussion over whether there exists a legal right to online anonymity, the law made anonymous blogging in Russia a daunting undertaking. The Bloggers’ Law was repealed in the second half of 2017, and updating of the ‘Bloggers’ Register’ ceased. This article attempts to (i) analyse the context and the reasoning behind the introduction of the Bloggers’ Register; (ii) disentangle the relevant legal provisions; and (iii) assess its effectiveness, drawing conclusions based on events in the Russian blogosphere during the period 2014–17.

“…Општествените истражувачи (Gerlach, 2014), следејќи ги поли-тичките случувања од 2000 година наваму, особено во евроазиските постсоцијалистички земји, се обидуваат да ги разберат, дефинираат и да ги објаснат настаните во кои илјадници граѓани протестираат против политичките елити на власт, барајќи минимални услови за де-мократија: слободни и фер избори. Со заедничко име овие настани популарно се наречени "шарени револуции".…”
