Vladimir Putin: Russian software will not be imposed on users.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that in connection with the entry into force of the new law, Russian software cannot be imposed on users. At a meeting with members of the government, the head of state noted that he expects to understand the new norms.
All devices that will be produced from April 1 and will be sold on the territory of the Russian Federation must have Russian applications, or they must be offered when devices are activated. The Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Maksut Shadayev made a report to the President on this topic.
"We do not impose Russian applications, we do not restrict users in choosing what they should have on their device," the minister said during his speech. "We provide equal conditions for users to access these applications, but the final decision still remains with him." ...
"Does this also apply to Russian-developed search services?" - Putin specified. Shadayev responded positively and added that in addition to search services, other applications are included here.
"I would also like to add that this is not imposed on the consumer, and they may not use it," Putin pointed out. The minister assured that foreign applications are also being offered. This is done precisely to ensure equal choice.
“I understand, I hope that both colleagues and users will understand and will bear in mind, take note,” the head of state summed up.
