Foreign registrars of .РФ and .RU domains

Question

Domain name market

Let's imagine a certain oppositional site objectionable to the authorities. The authorities intend to close it under any far-fetched pretext. In this case, we all know how to protect ourselves from seizure of servers: we rent servers abroad.

Is it possible to “protect” a domain name in the .RU and .РФ zones in a similar way? After all, if the registrar is Russian, then he obeys Russian laws and will easily stop delegating a domain. Accordingly, you must either use the domain name in other zones, or use a foreign accredited registrar. The question is, are there such foreign registrars accredited (that is, registering not through Russian partners) to register domains at least in the .RU zone?

Answer 1

In my opinion, Ru/RF is a local domain and is registered by foreign registrars only with the consent of the Russian responsible person. I mean, it will be closed anyway. Better take .com/.net/.info from your host or any registrar (not Russian).

Answer 2

No foreign registrar will save you from rectal thermoinquiry methods.
