From January 1, the Russian government and state-owned companies will not be able to use foreign software, if any Russian counterpart.

By the newspaper “Kommersant” foreign computer companies sold last year Software state institutions and companies in Russia for 300 million dollars. Most of these transactions will not be possible from next year.

On Friday, the government published a decree, according to which no state institution and the company will not be able to use foreign software if there is the Russian replacement. The government will prepare the official list of Russian computer programs that can be used in exchange for the software from abroad.

The Russian authorities for several years herald a policy of “independence of information”. This means that if the introduction of sanctions or even armed conflict Russia wants to be completely independent when it comes to infrastructure.
