Sina US Stock News reported on the 24th, Beijing time, that Russia's Deputy Minister of Communications, Aleksei Sokolov (Aleksei Sokolov), said on Monday that Russia has completed a series of tests, and the results show that its network services can still operate effectively even after being cut off from the global Internet.
The test took several days and was conducted on a specially designated network. Earlier, in response to the “aggressiveness” of the US national cybersecurity strategy, Russia proposed a “sovereign internet” bill in November.
According to the bill, government agencies and security departments, as well as all communication operators, message, and email providers, must participate in the test, but regular internet users will not be affected.
Sokolov said: “Our goal is to provide uninterrupted Internet service on Russian territory under any circumstances.” “The results of this assessment show that government agencies and telecom operators are prepared to respond effectively to the threat while ensuring the effective operation of the Internet and communications.”
He added that the Russian Ministry of Communications will write a report on the results of this test and submit it to President Putin for review.
