Russia is a dictatorship pretending to be a democracy, the state controls information so can make Putin look good and anyone else look bad, however the internet is far more difficult to control than TV, radio and newspapers and some of the information on the internet was undermining the states control of the message about Putin. By turning off the international internet the state can reassert control of the flow of information, basically putting it on the same level of control as China and Iran.
