This reminds me of a very similar initiative[0] adopted by Russia in 2016. It was heavily backed by the highest ranks, but ultimately failed due to lack of technical knowledge by everyone involved.

Except that "lack of technical knowledge" will have no effect on the outcome here, nor would an abundance. These thugs are terminally lacking anything of any kind of value, and it hinders them no more than their pallid saggy jowls, which jiggle and wiggle tirelessly with the effluent of eternal nonsense.
