The Federation Council proposes to create national Internet

Member of the Federation Council Maxim Kavjaradze considers it necessary to create an intra -Russian communication network closed from access from the EU and the USA. The senator offers to name this network “Cheburashka”.

“We need to think about creating our own internal Russian information system in order to leave the US wing, other information leaks will continue,” he said at a meeting of the Constitutional Legislation Committee during the discussion of the Law on Bloggers on Monday, April 28, RIA Novosti reports.

“We have a prime minister on Facebook and Twitter, and everyone now began to sit on social networks and tell where they were and where they go. But someone in the servers has accumulates this information, ”said Kavjaradze.

He believes that Russia could create such a network with the CSTO countries (Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) or with the states of the Asia-Pacific region.

According to Kavjaradze, the creation of such an autonomous network is the issue of information security "an entire country that is subjected to information attacks, cyber attacks, as well as attempts to split society." Funds for creating such a system, according to the senator, can be found in regional budgets.

“As we call this information system, it doesn’t matter,“ Crocodile Gene ”or“ Cheburashka ”, the latter is even preferable, since no one has Cheburashki,” the senator said.
