I would give this a very low probability of it happening. The political risks are enormous. I don’t think people react very well to having their toys taken away—including the people in your security apparatus that rulers would depend on to stifle revolt. Way worse than taking radios. I would also be extremely surprised if Russian commerce did not also depend on internet for marketing and sales now. Going back would be very hard.
