Oh it’s already implemented since 2000, with SORM system. Think they are to extend it to give direct FSB access without pre-request starting from 1st of september

An LLM explains that "SORM (System for Operative-Investigative Activities) is a Russian system of lawful interception used in telecommunications. SORM is mandated by Russian law, requiring all telecommunications providers to install interception equipment".
Pretty much yes. Basically FSB can perform MITM attacks any time they want, but it still requires an order.

It does not help a lot with end-to-end encryption though
