Global Crime : Vol.21, No 3-4, August- November 2020, pp.283-305 (111)Summary: The study identifies legal frameworks and investigates formal and informal forces serving the state in web control; while also elaborating on citizen counter-forces opposing these control measures. The article relies on Haggerty and Ericson's concept of the 'surveillant assemblage' - a compendium of surveillance practices where extra state institutions, machines, flows, and other components come together in rhizomatic practices that level surveillance hierarchies. The concept is applied to the case of Russia, where the ruling elite's quest for securing control over online self-expression has led to the adaptation of strategic regulatory and punitive practices targeting users.
