The administration of the Russian Federation received a notification from the presidential administration. It states that the president spoke out against the introduction of a global license in the Russian segment of the Internet.
Earlier, Putin instructed First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov to sort out this issue and discuss it with the public and relevant departments. Now, the Main Control Directorate of the Presidential Administration has removed the assignment from control.
Vladimir Putin believes that it is inappropriate to continue working on the concept of a global license, according to Vedomosti.

However, the Ministry of Culture or any other department may not share the position of the president and continue working on the draft law. The project can support the deputies and make it to the State Duma. Although the Central Control Department had previously negatively evaluated the concept of a global license, work on it continued.
Earlier, it was the Ministry of Culture that prepared the draft amendments on the global license. The author of this idea is the Russian Union of copyright holders, and the organization’s council is headed by Nikita Mikhalkov. The essence of the idea is the need to obtain a global license by Russian telecom operators from an organization accredited by the state. This initiative in the spring of 2015 has already received negative reviews from most experts: the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, as well as from Internet companies and telecom operators.
Particularly actively opposes the draft global license of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, headed by Nikolai Nikiforov. He has repeatedly stated the technical impossibility of implementing a global license. Even with the appearance on the market of the equipment necessary for the introduction of a global license, it will take about $ 5 billion more to implement such an idea.
