Basically, Russia will be employing a monitoring system akin to PRISM and firewalls akin to China. I think the only difference between Russia now and the USSR at its peak is now they're not quite as aggressive militarily and their borders are a little more open, and perhaps not as many people are being sent off to Siberia, but the full fallout of their anti-gay laws is yet to be seen.

Of course. Under the guise of protecting people,, they'll also be sure to know about anyone planning on protesting at the event against things like, say, the law in Russia that prevents people from being positive about gay people.
