The Federation Council proposed to create the Russian Internet

A proposal to create “our own internal Russian information system in order to leave the US wing” was voiced by a member of the Federation Council, Maxim Kavdzharadze, at a meeting of the committee on constitutional legislation during debates on a law that equates bloggers with more than 3,000 readers per day to the media. The name of the network that came to the senator's head is “Cheburashka”.



The motive for the creation of an autonomous network was the issue of information security "of the whole country that is subject to information attacks, cyber attacks, as well as attempts to split society." Senator proposed to finance the project at the expense of the regions. Maxim Kavdzharadze believes that Russia could create such a network with the CSTO countries (Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) or with the states of the Asia-Pacific region.

Ideas for creating your own infrastructure with variable frequency were expressed after the publication of Wikileaks, the publication of documents by Edward Snowden and the disconnection of two Russian banks from the Visa and MasterCard systems, as well as the lowering of the sovereign rating of Russia by international rating agencies.

One of the latest high-profile statements in the direction of the Internet was made by the president at the media forum in St. Petersburg, in which Vladimir Putin, in response to a question from one of the bloggers about the need to host servers of Western services in Russia, said : “The Internet initially appeared as a CIA project, and develops. The ancestors of this sphere are Americans, and they are trying to keep their monopoly. But this is impossible in the modern world, and we need to purposefully fight for our interests. ” The market reacted to such a statement by bringing down the value of shares of Russian IT companies to 10%.
