Will GitHub Be Completely Blocked in Russia Until the End of Summer?
Volume~$201
YES chance
DescriptionAs of May 2026, GitHub’s availability in Russia had declined due to a sharp increase in failed connections (up to 16%). In less than five months of 2026, Roskomnadzor added more individual pages of the service (61 links) to the registry than in the entire previous year. Industry experts and monitoring services (OONI) are recording system failures when attempting to download repositories, which may be a sign of a “soft” block via the TSPU. The question is whether the regulator will officially add the main github.com domain to the list of blocked resources in the Russian Federation by the end of August
ConditionsYes: if, between May 10 and August 31, 2026 (inclusive), the main github.com domain is officially added by Roskomnadzor to the registry of blocked websites, resulting in access restrictions imposed at the ISP level.No: if, by August 31, 2026, GitHub’s main domain remains formally accessible in the Russian Federation (even if individual pages are blocked or access speeds are reduced).
