German Klimenko: if you close the virtual borders, Russian sites will benefit
At the end of 2015, Herman Klimenko, the founder of Liveinternet, was offered to become an adviser to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin. Klimenko recently accepted this offer, and is already working in a new position. On January 5, the Russian service of the Air Force interviewed Hermann Klimenko, during which he made a number of interesting statements regarding the Russian-language segment of the Network.
For example, Klimenko expressed the opinion that if we follow the path of China, that is, close the virtual boundaries, then domestic sites will only benefit from it.
“If you close the borders now, I mean virtually, all our sites will benefit. Yandex will win, Mail.ru will win. We now eat off a layer of advertisers and Google, and Facebook, and all other companies. In this regard, from a business point of view, any business wants to get a monopoly, ”said Klimenko. He also believes that representatives of the network business should go to a dialogue with the state. The presidential adviser, in particular, expressed the idea that earlier the dialogue "went like a slam of one palm: everyone listened only to himself." Now "some kind of dialogue is getting better."
Klimenko also confirmed his statement that the Telegram messenger will not be able to exist in private: “I am absolutely sure that in the future no state in the world will allow anonymous messengers to function on its territory. There will be no this story. They will ask these companies for the right to access data. Pavel Durov simply will not have a choice. They will all follow the path of Skype, which cooperates with law enforcement agencies. The question is when and who will do it first. Will it make Russia or America, or France, or Germany? But it will be, and there is no doubt about it. This is the only thing I am sure of. The question is - when will this happen? I dont know".

Finally, the founder of Liveinternet believes that Russia needs its own operating system. “The point is that we have 22 thousand municipalities and a huge number of departments and state institutions ... Now all these institutions pay two to three billion Microsoft per year, not only for Windows, but also Office, and also databases. These are two or three billion dollars, which theoretically should have remained in Russia and would go to finance domestic software developers, ”says Klimenko.
Recall that now Herman Klimenko, in addition to the post of presidential adviser to Russia, leads the Institute for Internet Development in Russia.
