I think it's pretty ironic, considering that that's probably the one thing domain owners in Russia wouldn't want - the Russian government being able to seize the domain.

Yep, Russian citizens seem to be between hammer and anvil. I'm personally not afraid of government seizing my domain as it's just personal mail and I'm nobody important. But for something more controversial like opposition website that might be hard indeed.

    Yeah, it always starts like that until somebody doesn't like your nose, religion or whatever.

Exactly. This is helping Putin build his own "national Internet" that they've been talking about for so long. And the more successful he is at that, the more isolated Russians will be from world news, and the more exposed to Russian propaganda (which is already hysterical).
