The law on isolation of the Russian part of the Internet, if approved by the Federation Council and signed by the President, will come into force on November 1, 2019.

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

The document was "prepared taking into account the aggressive nature of the US National Cyber ​​Security Strategy adopted in September 2018." Thus, the document signed by the President of the United States declares the principle of “preservation of peace by force”, while Russia is directly and without evidence accused of committing hacker attacks, frankly talking about punishment,” the authors point out.

Council of the Federation very rarely rejected bills at their stage of consideration. There is also no reason to expect that the law will not be signed by the President.

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

The essence of the new legislative changes

Now the authorities will be able to control the connection points 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 DNS root servers or other key nodes of the Network is limited by something from the outside. Roskomnadzor will become the agency responsible for “coordinating the provision of sustainable, safe and integral functioning” of the Internet.
