Mishustin approved the operator of social advertising on the Internet
In July 2021, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a government order endowed with the autonomous non-profit organization Institute for Internet Development (IRI) with a social advertising operator in Russia. The corresponding document is published on the official Internet portal of legal information.
IRI will ensure that the share of social advertising on Internet sites is up to 5% of the total advertising of the resource. According to Andrei Voronkov, Deputy General Director of the Institute for Social Advertising, the norm on a 5 percent quota has existed for 15 years, but it worked only for television, print media and outdoor advertising.
| | On the Internet, due to the lack of an appropriate mechanism, the quota was regulated only due to the self-organization of the market participants themselves. So, last year [2020], the largest Internet platforms in Russia signed a memorandum on social advertising, where IRI was also a coordinating organization in matters of social advertising. Thanks to changes in legislation, a legal mechanism for regulating social advertising on the Web is being created, and IRI is becoming an important part of it, he said. | |
Voronkov noted that by mid-July 2021, approaches to the selection of projects for promotion are being discussed. At the first stage, the operator will interact with Yandex, Google, Mail.ru Group, Rambler, TikTok and Facebook. These platforms will provide the operator with access to equipment for advertising socially oriented NGOs, charitable organizations, foundations, authorities and other advertisers of social advertising.
The representative of the IRI explained that advertisers will be able to place social advertising through the operator, but they can, as before, interact with the sites directly if such relationships of projects are already in effect and work.[6]
2019: Working out the issue of the availability of Runet resources for disabled people
On September 26, 2019, IRI announced that a Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Russia meeting of the interdepartmental working group was held to work out the issue of the availability of digital information resources for people with hearing, vision and motion coordination disorders. The event was dedicated to the further development of the "global philosophy of accessibility" in Russia.
{{quote 'author = Representative of the Ministry of Communications Evgeny Novikov' Ministry activates work to increase the availability of Runet so that people with disabilities can comfortably use digital information resources. For this, an interdepartmental working group has been created in the Ministry of Communications, which includes representatives of the Internet industry and public organizations. They will be able to present their experience and developments in this area, }}
In order to increase the availability of Internet resources for people with disabilities, the Director General of the Institute for Internet Development Sergey Petrov proposed to conduct assessment monitoring of various segments of the Internet.
| | Together with specialized public organizations, targeted funds and users with HIAs, we will conduct a series of monitoring studies of popular network resources and work out a special rating tool. In addition, checklists will be formed to eliminate errors. This will stimulate organizations, including commercial ones, to improve the interfaces of their own sites. And the results of the rating will identify the leaders of the Runet in the direction of an accessible digital environment, said Sergey Petrov
| |
In the near future, IRI will conduct a series of studies of popular social media, instant messengers and applications, socially significant services, and will also re-check the availability of content from state sites. In the summer, IRI experts analyzed more than 400 official websites of federal and regional departments. Then monitoring showed that on 12 resources of state authorities there is no version for the visually impaired. In addition, in 27 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, official portals of various branches of government were discovered that did not use this version. Subtitles for audio and video files were not broadcast on sites in 65 regions of the Russian Federation.
Earlier, IRI conducted a survey among Runet users on the demand for online services. According to the results, the demand for services adapted for users with HIA allowed them to take 4th place.
As of 2018, 12 million citizens with disabilities were registered in Russia, including 0.7 million disabled children. Intersectoral specialists are unanimous: the expansion of the inclusivity of the digital environment becomes for citizens with special needs not only the key to successful socialization, but also professional self-realization in the information society.
2017
Sergey Petrov appointed general director of IRI
According to CNews sources, by November 2017, the conflict situation around the appointment of the general director of IRI was resolved after the intervention of Alexei Goreslavsky, who recently oversees Internet issues in the Presidential Administration. In this regard, RAEK and ROCIT refused to promote Buyanov's candidacy and agreed to a compromise option with the appointment of Sergei Petrov, Chairman of the Board of the Media Communication Union (ISS).
The ISS Association, headed by Petrov, is organized by telecommunications and media companies. Its members are STS-Media, Tricolor-TV, Rostelecom, Er-Telecom and other companies.
The ISS is known for proposing in 2015 to ban one of the fundamental UDP Internet protocols to combat torrent trackers. The association was also a co-author shortly before the adopted laws on restrictions on the ownership of online cinemas by foreigners and the regulation of instant messengers. The Roskomsvoboda resource calls the association a co-author of another law: on regulating the operation of VPN services, although the ISS denies any connection with this document[7].
German Klimenko resigned as chairman of the IRI council
Advisor to the President of Russia on the development of the Internet German Klimenko resigned as director of the Institute for Internet Development. At the same time, he lost the post of chairman of the council of this organization.
Rudykh leaves the post of director, Klimenko blocks the appointment of a new
In July 2017, it became known that the director of the Institute for Internet Development (IRI) Ekaterina Rudykh left her post, a source close to the institute told CNews. Her successor has not yet been appointed due to disagreements among the founders of the institute.
According to the interlocutor of CNews, the IRI council elected a new director of the institute. It was Maxim Buyanov, a lawyer at one of the founders of the institute, the Regional Public Center for Internet Technologies (ROCIT). However, another founder of the institute, adviser to the President of Russia, German Klimenko, refused to sign the minutes of the meeting[8]
As a result, IRI works without a director. A CNews source believes that the reason for what is happening is disagreements between Klimenko on the one hand and the head of ROCIT Sergei Grebennikov and the head of another co-founder of IRI, the Russian Association of Electronic Communications (RAEK), Sergei Plugotarenko, on the other hand.
The situation with IRI affected the Coordination Center of the National Domain of the Internet (CC) - an autonomous organization regulating the domain zones.Ru and.RF. At the end of 2015, the charter of the CC was changed and the adoption of the main decisions instead of the council of the organization was entrusted to the meeting of the founders.
At the same time, the IRI became one of the founders of the CC. Now, according to the director of the CC Andrei Vorobyov, the absence of an IRI director or a person authorized by the director does not allow the CC to hold a general meeting of founders. This meeting should resolve a number of procedural issues: approve priority areas of the CC's activities, approve the annual report, elect an audit commission, etc.
The IRI press service did not comment on the issue of its director, noting that he was within the competence of the organization's council. German Klimenko did not return a call from CNews. Sergei Grebennikov limited himself to commenting that there are slight difficulties in the election of the director of the IRI, but one should not look for policies in this.
At this time, IRI is implementing a number of other projects: the institute has created its own Competence Center in the field of ICT, selects messengers for use in government agencies, selects projects for financing by venture funds and develops telemedicine.
Funding reduction after Volodin's transfer to the State Duma, employee exodus
At the beginning of 2017, the Vedomosti newspaper wrote about problems in the IRI: after Vyacheslav Volodin left the Presidential Administration and headed the State Duma, funding for the institute was sharply reduced (it was carried out through grants from the state). As a result, most of the institute's staff were forced to leave.

Many of them have already taken part in the development of a long-term program for the development of Runet and related sectors of the economy - this report was presented by the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications. Now, as part of the implementation of this program, the expert council of the IRI will continue to deal with the Runet Index - a system of criteria that reflect the state of the Runet as a whole, determining the mutual influence of the high-tech industry, related industries and the economy, and reflect the level of Internet development of the regions of Russia.

Putin instructed IRI to create an Internet development program
In 2015, the President Russia Vladimir Putin instructed the IRI to prepare a long-term development program. Internet
The draft program was ready in the fall of 2015, then, as an addition to it, the institute prepared eight road maps for the development of areas related to the Internet ("Internet + Education," "Internet + Medicine," etc.). The developers planned to show these documents to Vladimir Putin at a meeting with Internet figures at the end of 2015. The meeting took place, the program and road maps were not approved, but following the meeting, the president suggested that German Klimenko become his adviser.
The creation of the IRI with the support of the deputy head of the presidential administration Volodin
IRI was created in early 2015 as a public organization aimed at the development of the Internet and related areas. The Institute was established by RAEK, ROCIT, the Media Communication Union (ISS), the Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF) and German Klimenko.
It was believed that the institute had a solid political lobby: it was supported by Vyacheslav Volodin, who at that time held the post of deputy head of the Presidential Administration.
2014: IRI Initiative
The idea of creating IRI was presented by the Russian Association of Electronic Communications, the Fund for the Development of Internet Initiatives, the Media Communication Union and the Regional Public Organization "Center for Internet Technologies" in 2014 and was supported by the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation.
The Development Institute Internet represents the interests of the entire Internet industry, including the Internet itself software , and the media. The purpose of the Institute is to collect and process statistical and analytical information that all market participants and other stakeholders would have access to; as well as analysis of trends in the development of industries, both Russian and foreign. It is also a platform for discussing industry, legislative and other initiatives, reporting them to relevant departments and broadcasting the opinion of state bodies of the industry.
"Given the speed of nashey̆ life, it is important to have a position agreed by all interested parties, a clear vision of the future in order to respond to changes in a timely manner, to any challenges of the time in order to effectively develop the internet industry, and to offer new ideas to the global market. To do this, we need more aktualnoy̆ information, analytics, trends, both global and Russian. It is also important to have a suitable platform from kotoroy̆ we would receive information and could broadcast the vision to the market for further discussion. We decided to single out the activities of collecting and analyzing trends, analytics, discussing the data obtained and broadcasting them to all interested parties into a separate structure - the Institute for Internet Development, "says Varlamov Kirill, director of the IIDF.
"In Russia and in the world, sometimes an erroneous opinion is created about the development of the Russian innovation market not for the better for the economy - and this must be changed. We have a successful long-term experience in conducting our own research projects (in various areas: from the rating of the Internet development of the regions of the Russian Federation - to the study of the economies of Internet markets and the contribution of the Runet Economy to the GDP of the Russian Federation). I am sure that these our developments and analytical products will be a good content contribution to the new structure. And RAEK, in turn, will have access to a much wider range of analytical materials and will be able to initiate a number of new products and research in those areas where we do not have a traditional presence, but knowledge about which will help Internet business develop more dynamically and more stable, "comments RAEK Director, Plugotarenko Sergey.
