Western sanctions are crippling Russias economy in wake of Moscows invasion of Ukraine

A Mikron plant in Moscow.
WASHINGTON The U.S. on Thursday levied sanctions on nearly three dozen Russian companies and individuals that the Treasury Department said are helping Moscow evade the Wests economic pressure campaign and aiding the countrys defense and intelligence agencies.
Among those blacklisted include Russias largest microchip manufacturer, Mikron, a firm named Serniya Engineering that Treasury said oversaw a network of companies that procured technology and dual-use goods from abroad for the military and intelligence services, and supercomputer company T-Platforms.
The Treasury Department said sanctions targeting harmful foreign activities of the Russian government would also apply to Russias aerospace, marine and electronics sectors, enabling it to blacklist any company or individual operating in those sectors.
The sanctions freeze any assets the targets hold within U.S. jurisdiction and prohibit U.S. entities including foreign companies that have U.S. operations from conducting transactions with the targets. Entities found violating the prohibitions risk sanctions themselves.

How about one of those "updates" like the ones that crashed and burned so many computers here? (accidentally, I am told)
Home users can boot up a TAILS operating system and get security, namely from the FSB.
"Bureaus" likely use special purpose applications running on their now hosed systems.
