Students at the Plekhanov University of Economics in Moscow are forced to attend classes physically due to severe internet outages affecting their ability to study online. This situation has led many students to travel to their university daily for reliable internet access. Among them, students Amina and Emilia expressed a growing sense of autonomy and integrity in their studies as they adapt to these challenging circumstances.

The ongoing internet disruptions are impacting various sectors and are a source of frustration for many Muscovites, including both students and entrepreneurs. These outages arise from broader concerns related to communications and internet reliability in the city. While some students find benefits in being physically present at the university, they note the inconvenience of travel and the necessity of adapting to this new normal in their education.

As the situation evolves, the implications extend beyond education to the local economy and communication strategies among citizens. Discussions among students and residents reflect a mix of resentment and resilience against the restrictions they face, revealing underlying social dynamics in a city grappling with technological and infrastructural challenges.
