The law on isolation of the Russian part of the Internet, if approved by the Federation Council and signed by the President, will enter into force on November 1, 2019. Some provisions, such as cryptographic information security and the national DNS service, will be enforced from January 1, 2021.

The official press release of the State Duma says the following:

The document was “prepared taking into account the aggressive nature of the US National Cyber ​​Security Strategy adopted in September 2018”. So, in the document signed by the President of the United States, the principle of “preserving peace by force” is declared, Russia is directly and unprovenly accused of hacker attacks, frankly speaking about punishment, ”the authors say.

The Federation Council very rarely rejects bills at its review stage. There is also no reason to expect that the law will not be signed by the President.

Telecom operators by April 1, 2019 should have completed field trials of technical measures to ensure and comply with the norms of the law on the stability of the Runet.

The essence of the new changes in legislation

Now the authorities will be able to control the points of connection of the Russian part of the Internet with the rest of the global Network. It is possible to create the necessary infrastructure that will allow the Russian segment to function autonomously if access to foreign root DNS servers or other key nodes of the Network is limited by something from the outside. The Roskomnadzor will be the agency responsible for “coordinating the provision of sustainable, safe and holistic functioning” of the Internet.
