Russian IT companies should switch to domestic software – Putin
"As for security, there are things that are critical for the state, for the operation of certain industries and regions."
Speaking with representatives of IT-businesses during his visit to the Perm Territory, Putin insisted that Russian programmers should be more proactive in developing software for use in domestically-made hi-tech products.
"As for security, there are things that are critical for the state, for the operation of certain industries and regions," Putin stressed, adding that the state does not want to face a situation where "somebody out there presses a button, and everything stops here."
According to a recent survey, the use of foreign software by Russian federal state information systems was not impacted by the country's switch to the import substitution policy. Only 3 percent out of 339 such systems are using the Russian-produced software and only two of them operating systems developed in Russia.
