FSB does not classify Google Glass as special tools.

Some thought that in Russia Google Glass could be classified as special technical equipment and glasses would be banned in Russia.



The FSB has denied this information with its response to a request from the Google Glass blog : “We inform you that Google Glass glasses do not belong to the products of the category of special technical means intended for secretly receiving information”.

At the moment there is no reason to consider the use or purchase of glasses glasses illegal.

The FSB does not see in glasses special technical means for secretly obtaining information, and therefore there will be no criminal cases for using Glass or problems at customs. It is enough to print the answer of the FSB and show it to the customs officers and any other disgruntled persons. This is an official document.

It should be clarified that this letter applies only to Glass glasses, and Chinese glasses with cameras are still banned. Be careful.

Here is a scanned copy of the letter in high quality for printing and presentation.
