Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday signed into law a bill on providing stable operation of a Russian national internet system in case of disconnection from the global network infrastructure.
According to the law published on Russia’s official legal information portal, Russian telecommunications watchdog Roskomnadzor is entitled to carry out “the centralised operation of the general communications network” if there are risks to the operation of the Russian internet.
The measures include installing a national system for internet traffic routing through servers within the country and preventing external threats from cutting off the Russian part of the global network, Xinhua reported.
