Russia partially disconnected households from the global internet to test its "sovereign Internet" system in the early hours of July 5, Russian media outlets have reported.
This gives everyone a great opportunity to filter out all the IP’s that belong to the nefarious element in Russia as they would, no doubt, remain connected.
We have the same issue with China, even though ‘nefarious elements’ is country agnostic, those attacking from China, from within the great firewall, still does so, and filtering the nefarious still isn’t trivial. I wouldn’t believe this would be any different, but I have no knowledge about their system, just the assumption that they have adopted a lot of the same techniques and procedures.

My thought is that this is so they can some kind of crippling attach on global internet infrastructure, without themselves being affected
