the Russian Internet community with interest and a certain irony in discussing the statement of the adviser of the President of Russia Herman Klimenko that Russia may be disconnected from the global network. The main network guru of the Kremlin encouraged to actively prepare for this, in particular — to quickly pass a bill on the protection of critical electronic infrastructure in the country, according to which foreigners will not have the right to own traffic exchange points in Russia. Initially, the bill was widely seen as lobbying in favor of some domestic tycoons. Is it possible, in principle, is that the Western intruders to leave Russia without the Internet? This “MK” asked the member of the expert Council of state Duma Committee on information policy Matvey ALEKSEEV.

According to the politician, Russia needs to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances amid “tectonic shifts in the direction of worsening relations with Western countries.” Recall: examples of how to hurt the Russian Internet users from abroad already exist. For example, according to the decree of U.S. President Barack Obama of the residents of Crimea are deprived of access to services of Google and Microsoft. Also Western countries have threatened to cut off Russian banking system from SWIFT, and in early December, the FSB reported that foreign special services are preparing attacks to destabilize Russia’s financial system. “Rostelecom” has confirmed this information and added that repelled the attack, the five largest financial institutions.

- We discussed the statement of Herman S. with colleagues and compared it with the theses of Lenin in 1917 was told the “MK” Matvey ALEKSEEV, Lenin said that we need to take the post, Telegraph, telephone, and Herman S. said, should not lose mail, Telegraph, telephone and social networks. In fact, the coordination centre of domains .EN .Russia is not just eating money, including budget. He has a point that no one will allow us to knock out these domain areas. Maybe the Internet will be slower than we like, but will work. As for the Western domain zones, then anything can happen. We could theoretically disconnect from the domain zones of other countries. It is difficult, pointless, they’re at a loss, but it is doable. As part of the meaninglessness I’ll give you an example. If a Western automobile company decides not to sell cars in Russia, we’re not going to say that the West has cut off Russia from road transport. We say only that a particular concern is lost revenues for our market.

Therefore, I would regard the statements of Herman Sergeyevich as a call to that very notorious import substitution. We are willing to use someone else’s infrastructure, but we have all of his too should be. Its “iron”: the interior Ministry is now purchasing Russian-made computers — well done; your software, which will ensure all channels of communication, and so on. This will make us more independent from external factors.
