Comment (by dcf):

 Post, in Russian (geektimes.ru): [https://geektimes.ru/post/283392/ В
 Беларуси начались блокировки Tor]
 > Похоже, на данный момент в Беларуси заблокирован доступ к публичным
 узлам Tor; сервисы по-прежнему доступны при использовании мостов
 (bridges). Вместе с использованием мостов рекомендуется обфусцировать
 трафик с помощью obfs4proxy, чтобы скрыть использование Tor от провайдера.
 Translated:
 > It seems that at the moment in Belarus blocked access to public Tor
 nodes; services are still available using the bridges (bridges). Together
 with bridges is recommended to obfuscate traffic with obfs4proxy , use Tor
 to hide from the provider.

 Tor had been ordered blocked way back in February 2015:
