It is wrong to talk about lockdown in Russia, there is an is emergency mode, quarantine is
part of this

However, this was not introduced, rather than quarantine, a self-isolation regime was introduced

Sometimes called a period of non-working days

The media do not use the word quarantine, to reassure people that everything is in order

The problem is that this self-isolation regime has no legal basis or clear definition

Is much politicized

If an emergency was declared the state would have to support people financially, and they are not prepared to do this, as a result people are forced to work and isolation is broken

Therefore, in effect, no one is self-isolating

In practice, people are not wearing masks in public (despite being mandated in places)

Yandex is the Russian Google, preloaded on most phones

Geolocation pings, compile people movements, and the streets are crowed again

Dagestan

Severely affected

Self-isolation observed

Statistics

Less than accurate

Testing is extremely inadequate

Results sometimes delayed for weeks

Patients released who later turned out to be positive

Tests are poor quality

No exact data, but probably 30% to 50% false negatives

Low CFR / IFR ‘special calculation methodology’

Even according to official data,

60% of deaths are not included

Diagnosis by pathologist, e.g. pneumonia, sepsis

Post mortem tests take a long time to come back

COVID clinical diagnosis on death certificates discouraged
