Russia can operate its own internet uninterrupted even when cut off from Worldwide Web
By MYBRANDBOOK
Deputy Communications Minister of Russia, Aleksei Sokolov on Monday said that the country’s internet services could function even if it is cut off from the worldwide web. This came to light when Russia was completing a series of tests over the course of several days to check if its internet services could work uninterrupted if there happens to be a worldwide web fallout.
The review, conducted on specially designated networks, follows a "sovereign internet" bill introduced in November in response to what Russia calls the "aggressive nature" of U.S. national cyber security strategy.
The law states that state-run institutions and security services, as well as all communications operators, messengers and email providers, must participate in the tests, which do not affect regular internet users.
"Our goal was to provide an uninterrupted internet service on Russian territory under any circumstances," Sokolov told a press briefing.
"The outcomes of the review showed that government agencies and communications operators are ready to respond effectively to threats and to ensure the internet and communications operate effectively," Sokolov said.
The Communications Ministry will produce a report on the outcome of the test to be reviewed by President Vladimir Putin, he added.
