Russia is building their own internet

To me it reads more like they are building their own global satellite network backbones. This will allow them to have a faster (and cheaper once they cover costs) internet access.
A Google Images search for "Cheburaksha" returns this awesome guy: http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig13/10130946a5.jpg

I'm curious if they are attempting to make a push for connecting Siberia, or if this is also due to an increasing userbase in Russia as well:

Is this a network only for Russian organizations to communicate with each other or regular users too?
This idea maybe born when E.Snowden revealed some secrets, as you know USA spectates everyone everywhere
As long as they don't ban regular Internet, I see this as a very good thing.
