did this show up in bgp?  e.g. rv/ris?

Looks like it did shown on news only. We're operating in Russia too and 
did not noticed this disconnection at all, both traffic levels and prefix 
count was at normal levels.

PS: I guess this disconnection was in some lab, someone just dropped any 
"foreign" routes and checked if at least some domestic search engines/
mail services/social networks/... continued to function.
