Chinese Internet awaits us
New Internet adviser to Putin: if Google and Facebook are not surrendered, they are blocked
If earlier the Internet in Russia has developed on its own, now it will apparently “develop” it: Vladimir Putin invited an adviser on the development of the Internet. He became German Klimenko , the owner of LiveInternet, the founder of the Mediametrics aggregator and the chairman of the Internet Development Institute (IRI), the organization, the creation of which was attended by the Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Vyacheslav Volodin.
Putin, as you know, does not know how to use the Internet, this is probably the last such dinosaur, and now Klimenko is his adviser now.
- Kirill Martynov (@kmartynov) December 24, 2015 German Klimenko will make the Internet a calm and comfortable place for the president who hates him.
- Kirill Martynov (@kmartynov) December 24, 2015Not having time to officially confirm his purpose, Klimenko caused a violent reaction among Runet users, saying rain on the broadcast of the Telegram television company, the brainchild of the founder of VK.ru Pavel Durov, is obliged to cooperate with the authorities or come to terms with the fact that he will be blocked:
Criminals, unfortunately, use the same techniques as us. They really use Telegram, Skype, mail, in the end. And yes, they use the mail that does not issue data from the Russian law enforcement agencies.
It is clear that you need to look for a compromise between society and law enforcement agencies. It must be clearly recognized that recognizing the complete anonymity and not cooperation of the foreign company with our law enforcement agencies, we essentially help criminals.
The future adviser of Putin on the Internet German Klimenko on the rain: the state should intervene in our life. Well, hello.

The invitation to work in the Presidential Administration found Klimenko by surprise: Putin offered him a new position spontaneously, during a round table on the forum "Internet Economy 2015".
All the advisers of the president (take at least German Klimenko, the adviser on the Internet) chose him just as he was chosen. "I walked past the garages to training in judo, offered, I could not refuse." Imprinting.
How this happened is captured on the video:
In what areas is it planned to develop the Internet? In various interviews of the newly made adviser, two main trends are still visible: to regulate and import substitution. Here, for example, a fragment of a conversation with " Vedomosti ":
- Now the story is being developed with the storage of personal data of Russians within the country. Roskomnadzor complains that foreign companies such as Facebook and Twitter do not want to do this. But officials are afraid to close them. Do you have your own view of this question? Should the state “squeeze” foreigners and close so that they fulfill the law or not? Are they interested in this issue in the presidential administration?
Interested and asked. I have this position - everyone should work in equal terms. If Mail.ru at the request of law enforcement agencies issues its user correspondence, then Google must do the same by the request. If Google does not, then he needs to leave our market. Otherwise, Mail.ru suffers because people leave it.
- But the real situation is different. No one closes anyone.
Yes, it is. We are too tactful, we are afraid to offend someone, we are afraid of you-if we close Google or Facebook, you will accuse us of the clamping of freedoms, right?
These "we" and "you", of course, are very indicative. “Herman Klimenko is already associated with the authorities,” comments “ Medusa ” in the material entitled “ Putin adviser on the Internet: who is he? ” Other conclusions that Medusa draws from various Klimenko’s interviews: he is extremely loyal to the current Russian authorities, understands how it is arranged and considers the Internet insufficiently reclaimed.
Okay, in an interview with Klimenko there is nothing new. We will bend the Western companies that disagree ban. And about the "foreign experience" https://t.co/cihzwlxzkp

Excerpt from the March performance by Klimenko at another meeting with the president:
What should be known about Herman Klimenko, whom Putin invited to the presidential administration to steer with Runet together with Schegolev. Quote from Klimenko at a meeting with Putin in March this year:
"Once in the 1970s-I have a military education, of course, but I am a systemic programmer-in the 1970s we made a mistake: switched to the EU technique, refused to develop our" Elbruses. "Now, fortunately, we have even something that is processors. We have chosen the decision not to import substitution, but to export substitution. We decided to adapt and steal someone else's, and to steal someone else's, and to steal someone else's As a result, we do not have our own “iron” base.
Over the next 10-15 years, an explosion of technology will occur, and we must be ready for this, and for this we have everything. All of Europe, as you rightly noticed now, surrendered: they do not have their own search engines, they do not have their own social networks - all “lie” near America. This is neither bad nor good - they just gave up.
We managed, despite the fact that we had never had tax preferences, we always stood in a worst position: we never had money like the industry as such, and nevertheless we were able to give worthy resistance over the past 15 years. Now the situation is quite critical, and it is obvious that without the help of the state we will not be able to overcome this gap. Now we can again get into history when, instead of our Elbruses and BESM -6, which worked completely miraculously, we switched to the EU technique, which now simply went out of circulation, it did not give us anything.
We are going to develop a certain concept at the Institute of Internet Development, the option of a roadmap, how to try not only to resist the next 10-15 years, but also stay in the leaders, but we can do it. The only thing that I would like your support: without a state and without his attention to this problem, we will not succeed. "
The autumn interview Klimenko Gazeta.ru surfaced:
Google really knows a lot about us. Suppose people sit in our Ministry of Defense and go to Google accounts from their IP. You can take IP, tie it to the account and watch it after the person. They won’t even get to know you, they will simply find out that you work on the fifth floor of the Ministry of Defense, live in Butov, treat your mother in Israel.
This is the information that reconnaissance previously mined with great difficulty. And then they themselves are brought on a saucer with a blue bucket. And the question arises: if we have nothing to protect, then FIG would be with him. But the state obviously believes that he has something to protect.
The whole story began with Snowden. I even said then: as soon as Putin comes to the realization of how much you can find out about a person through the Internet, we will immediately find ourselves behind the “curtain”. That's the whole story that is happening now.
<...>
China acted as follows: Google agrees to answer questions - works in China, does not agree - does not work. I think we will have the same.
It is useful to familiarize yourself with the round -table transcript at the Internet Economy 2015 forum - not only for the sake of Klimenko’s statements. For example, Natalya Kasperskaya , co -founder of the Kaspersky Laboratory, persistently persuades Putin to redirect state investments from the sphere of high technologies to "import substitution":
N. Kasperskaya: We have a large number of institutions that invest high -tech projects. This is Skolkovo, and FPI, FCP, all sorts of federal target programs and so on. I have a feeling that there is no single investment strategy. We propose to create a public investment monitoring center or at least some organ that would generate an investment strategy. That is, relatively speaking, I know what projects, for example, go to Skolkovo, require monetization and require innovation. Often import substitution, for example, does not fall under innovation, because it seems to be already developed, and with monetization our companies always had everything bad. And therefore, good technological projects that the country would need can fall according to some criteria. And it seems to me that it would be reasonable for the country to invest in what will really bring her the necessary dividends in the future.
Vladimir Putin: That's right, but this does not always coincide with the interests of investors.
N. Kasperskaya: I'm talking about state funds. This is state money.
In the discussion about this round table, one of the commentators asks the question:
And it seemed to me, or in Kaspersky wrote their Windows and Facebook? We will have an OS (not that you still thought, but the operating system). And your baida? those. Facebook?
It did not seem, others answer.
Some commentators have a new purpose made:
German Klimenko in the presidential administration - I choked! How was a normal living person with brains invited there and, I really hope, not for "sticky hands"? I am afraid, however, that the living among the zombies do not survive, and the venture will resolve by spring. Well, or Herman will bite Volodin, and he will also become one of them)))
It’s not the first day that I am watching the raising of an enthusiastic network navalnism towards German Klimenko after Putin’s offer to become his adviser.
Of course, their own, who publicly rejoice in billions from the budget and double bonuses for ambivalent activities, the quasiliberal party will not touch. It’s easier to run into a hard worker who raised his business with handles and brains, earned a reputation, name and dared to try to improve something in the industry in which he understands and which plays an increasing role in the country's economy.
German, no Pasaran!
Others believe that rejoice in prematurely:
New reality occurs much faster than we thought!
I wonder how soon people who said "Klimenko are better than Rykov - so let it be the main online Internet at Putin"?
I don't really understand your joy, guys.
Firstly, this is the same dude that has long and stubbornly lobbying for the introduction for you prohibitive purchases for purchases in foreign online stores. So that you and his friendly bought the same shit from him and his friendly, but for a triple price. Something like I am in Brazil.
Secondly, German Klimenko sleeps and sees in the dreams "Chinese Internet". What was repeatedly voluptuously crucified in an interview.
And I think that his plan for events has long been ready. For all my hostility to this character - he is not a playful **** Calling from Roskomnadzor.
He is a lobby for the most uncompetitive part of the Internet business-small and medium-sized offices that dream of living in the Russian market due to restrictions on competition. Companies with global plans do not need such lobbying.
And, and yes, there is such a Joseph Vissarionich inside that Roskomnadzor with his lamers in his jackets will seem to be a kindergarten.
The same media metrix will instantly show who visits what is not allowed, will give out all their names, logins, and so on.
Well, he is only in words - a rating, and in fact - a protocol and a prudence.
All that he did, starting with Li.ru, was done for the sole purpose: to capitalize Runet so as to sell him on his own behalf of the office.
It’s just that the kid came to success at the moment when it was time to start draining the shares of this OJSC until they began to give them in the face.
I also recalled another Internet Ombudsman - Dmitry Marinichev, whom Navalny accused of lobbying for the law "On Personal Data". Marinichev’s initiatives were also sharply criticized:
You look at some "Internet Ombudsman" and think-a bastard or just a fool? And he and that and that! pic.twitter.com/dvyhnmbdne
- Alexey Kovalev (@alexey__kovalev) December 23, 2015 In order for the Internet to develop as a safe and comfortable environment in Russia to be the first to block for life ...
- Leonid Volkov (@leonidvolkov) December 23, 2015
Leonid Volkov, the ally of Navalny, took Klimenko’s appointment unequivocally:
Internet adviser - German Klimenko Advisor to Economics - Sergey Glazyev Advisor to combat organized crime - Sergey Tsapok
- Leonid Volkov (@leonidvolkov) December 24, 2015
Recall that Volkov opposes the very thing that is also advocated by Klimenko - the transfer of personal data to Russia:
Klimenko himself reacts to criticism in social networks very directly:
This screenshot looks good next to another quote from an interview with Klimenko Vedomosti :
There were times when people on the Internet could be sent to hell. And there was nothing for it. But it should not be, in real life, a person can call the police and a person will receive a fine for hooliganism. There is at least some way to fight this. Moreover, the world is changing - money comes to the Internet, bandits, terrorists come. Of course, all this needs to be regulated.
Including the regulatory themselves.
