Another article on the same topic. Although I like the phrase "complete sovereignty of information" I think it is vague - seems they mean "Russian government sovereignty over all domestic information processing" or something, which of course will have positive flow on effects, at least in the medium to longer term, for the domestic Russian software industry. Way to go Russia! More countries should act in such a protectionist way. What's the point of a country if it doesn't look after its own citizens and national interests? This happened once in Czech Republic, too. Totalitarian government banned all electronic software and books from "capitalistic" countries. It ended with Czech republic 20y after mainstream industry and science before revolution. Of course it given totalitarian government another reason why and what for punish its citizens. Who was smart and courageous tried to emigrate therefore country lost most of good scientists, too. So much for interests of your own citizens. BTW at that time it was invention of Soviets same way.
