VPN is only temporary cure. I think soon or later Kremlin will try to crack down use of VPN when it becomes popular.

And I'm not fond of most governments and even notion of big intrusive government.

(I don't know what kind of) news for you: US and UK are both such governments. With less action between the surveillance and the police I guess, for now.

Well, afaik VPN is so widely used in Russia and even bimbo girls know how to use it. When you are going to Turkey for vacation, VK.com ( Russian Facebook) is blocked there because of porno content and you have to use VPN. Then there are resources as bbc news and netflix that didnt allow to watch video from Russia due to copyright reasons, and that again always was worked around with VPN.

Correct, but VPN would allow you to use Linkedin until you have not managed to get rid of the Russian citizenship

Most of the governments do love to spy on its own citizens, for obvious reasons.
