      Apart from fetishizing suffering: Russian people take great pride in their ability to indure and overcome adversities and never yield or whine. Older generation, that is, I can't see this mindset being all that prevalent in the youth.
      If you have any other traits in mind, that are more or less unique to Russian culture, I would appreciate your insights.
      I think it has to do with newly (welp, 2012 sort of "new") discovered shale and slant gas deposits in Ukraine. Most of which are in Crimean exclusive economic zone and on the northwest of DNR. The peninsula itself is too expensive to hold with the Crimean channel blockage, hence the imperative to clear the dam and gain foothold by the Dnieper. The latter being the only natural border between Russia and Europe apart from Carpathian mountains, so we have the rest of the conflict: Donetsk and Lugansk won't last too long as buffer zones without it.
      Russian economy can't afford big competitors in Europe, hence the blitzkrieg special gamble. All or nothing.
      We'll never know for sure, what were the actual reasons, but at least this rationale helps me see some logic in what is happening. As horrible as it is.

    1:53 DNS servers are rarely hacked, but if they would get hacked, then the attacker could just buy a certificate for the domain, and TLS is circumvented. You only need to demonstrate that you control a certain domain to buy a certificate for it. What TLS really protects against is man in the middle attacks, when the attacker hacks your network, or you're on an insecure wifi, or your ISP/government are hacking. I used to demonstrate that with rogue wifi APs with an SSID like McDonalds or something that people's phones will automatically connect to.

What the world is doing right now will force Russia to develop all of this tech on their own - this will likely lead to more national pride, new products and services, and will diversify Russia's exports - in short these measures will make them stronger.

    Is there a (relativelty easy) way to mark a certificate authority as partially trusted, so that, if i trust it or not, would vary on a site by site basis? Because, like, i would trust this new vertificate authority if i'm connecting to some russian government website, but not if i'm connecting to, lets say, youtube. Although, considering the levels of corruption, i wouldnt want to trust it even when connecting to govt websites, because i wouldnt be surprised, if, sooner or later, either the private key will be sold/stolen, or there will be a certificate(s), issued for a fake govt website(s).

    In the United States there's already a rather large MITM operation, called "Cloudflare". You get the padlock and everything, but if you actually inspect the certificate, it isn't what you thought you were going to. Cloudflare is its own CA, Certificate Authority, and consequently it affirms that its customers are legitimate so you get the "padlock" symbol. So instead of going directly to a particular server, you are going to a *proxy* which inspects your packets and then re-packages them for transport to the actual server; and THAT link can be secured by the "real" server certificate or not secure at all.
    When there's a malfunction in Cloudflare, customers make phone calls to banks and whatever but it isn't the bank's fault and indeed there's not really anything the bank can do about it.
    "Fiddler" is a nifty diagnostic program that is a MITM proxy *right on your own computer* and it requires to install the Fiddler root certificate so that your browsers think they are talking to whatever but really they are talking to Fiddler. It makes possible to diagnose problems with websites that use HTTPS.
