Sergei Popov clarified that by installing Russian software, they not only fulfilled the conditions and requirements of the government, the Ministry of Education and Science and Rosobrnadzor, but also made a choice in favor of solutions that support a large range of functions necessary for Russian universities. We can say that we did not engage in import substitution, but moved to a new level, using such software products that foreign companies could not adjust to the market. Also, the Moscow Aviation Institute has a subordinate school - a pre-university, where grades 8-10 study. In principle, there are no Windows-based computers at school, where the entire educational process is built on Astra Linux.

When the university, like most Russian universities, faced the inaccessibility of foreign services, it launched the process of switching to domestic software. Having chosen the ecosystem of our solutions, MAI was able to effectively implement tasks within its activities, reported by Roman Borisov, Deputy Commercial Director for the work of the educational sector of Astra Group.
