Before anyone says that it's a sign of Russian authoritarianism, adjust your anger accordingly: France is doing the same, the UK is as well (they even have gone as far as just banning encryption because "pedos" - in a country that adores and is ruled by pedophiles).
And the rest of western Europe probably isn't faring much better but I'm not as aware of it.
Banning vpns is an authoritarian move for a country. No matter which country.
This. It's not either-or.
While it's true that the imbeciles in our (UK) government have tried to implicitly outlaw E2EE, there are no restrictions on VPNs here.
Yet! 😁
