Creation of the Department of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence

As TAdviser found out in March 2023, a new structural unit, the Department of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, recently appeared in the Ministry of Digital Development. This area is supervised by the profile Deputy Minister of Digital Development Grigory Borisenko, and the new department is headed by Sergei Sergienko, who previously worked as an adviser to the minister.

In total, there are now 19 departments in the Ministry of Digital Development "(photo - Artem Geodakyan/TASS)"

Grigory Borisenko told TAdviser that the department's specialized areas include data - everything related to them, as well as analytics and artificial intelligence. The first includes the creation of different products within the department using data: for example, "data factories," digital profiles, etc. And in the field of AI - creating an infrastructure for providing data sets for AI training, analyzing and working to eliminate barriers - both regulatory and process, related to the development and implementation of AI in public administration and in various industries.

The Department is responsible, among other things, for the national data management system (NDMS), for the system of interdepartmental electronic interaction (SMEV) and various aspects of the transfer of public administration to a digital basis. Previously, responsibility for them is scattered, parts, divided by different departments.

"The ministry, of course, dealt with these areas earlier, just these tasks were functionally distributed: someone was engaged in data from the point of view of public services, someone from the point of view of public administration, etc. And now the minister has decided to combine all this activity in one department in order to intensify the development of everything related to data. Indeed, not only the Ministry of Digital Development, but also many other departments are interested in high-quality data, "explained Grigory Borisenko.

The deputy minister explained the choice of Sergei Sergienko as the head of the new department to TAdviser by the fact that he has long been involved in topics related to the NSD and SMEV in different qualities. "Therefore, this big block is better than a candidate and cannot be found," said Grigory Borisenko.

In addition to the Department of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, the Deputy Minister himself also oversees work with regions in the field of digitalization. In the regions, this topic is also actively developing, they produce a lot of data that is interesting to the federal center, says Grigory Borisenko.

Another block of responsibility of the deputy minister is the supervision of digitalization in the Ministry of Natural Resources, Rosstat and Rosreestr. The choice is due to the fact that colossal amounts of data are generated in these departments.

Ministry of Digital Development has formed priorities for 2022. Shadayev's presentation

On April 5, Minister of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev at a meeting of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, IT and Communications spoke about the priorities of the department's work for 2022, which are partly dictated by the current crisis context. He recalled that the work of the ministry is built around five priorities: digital services, Internet accessibility, industry development, personnel training and cybersecurity.


On the results of the work of the Ministry of Digital Development in 2021 and priorities for 2022. Presentation of Maksut Shadayev

In terms of digital services, the department is heading for further rejection of paper, which it focused on earlier: "this is our most important priority." Now the direction of mailings from government agencies in electronic form is being discussed by default. Taking into account the level of demand for services and the scale of the audience of the public services portal - 96.4 million registered users as of April 1, 2022 - the Ministry of Digital Development believes that there is a readiness for this, and you can save on registered paper letters.

The initiative to refuse to send utility bills in paper form is also being discussed. Personnel electronic document management is also important: the State Duma at the end of 2021 supported the legislative initiative so that everything related to the interaction of the employer and the employee at all stages would take place electronically.

The same applies to the digital profile of a citizen - in his personal account on the portal of public services, he must have access in electronic form to all data concerning him, which are in departmental systems. We are also talking about data related to real estate, personal transport, all kinds of permits, etc. And all the necessary data must be pulled up from departmental databases when filling out various applications.

The portal of public services is an ecosystem of services for life. The priority is the launch of new services in 2022, including to support business in the current economic situation.

As for infrastructure, taking into account the suspension of the activities of foreign companies that supply telecom equipment, in Ministry of Digital Development they consider it important, first of all, now to rebuild logistics and more clearly determine taking into account the availability of equipment on existing infrastructure priorities.

Despite the difficulties, the department plans to continue work on connecting sparsely populated points to the Internet. Moreover, the ministry plans to ask the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, IT and Communications to develop a regulatory framework so that in such territories, as well as on the roads, it is possible to abandon the principle of using a base station by only one operator and its subscribers. The base station in a sparsely populated area should work with subscribers of different operators according to the principle of inter-network roaming.

File:Aquote1.png
Taking into account the current restrictions and the time required to rebuild logistics and organize our own production, we need to increase the efficiency of the equipment used, the base stations that exist, the minister said. - We are preparing the corresponding bill.

Maksut Shadayev in the State Duma spoke about the priorities of the Ministry of Digital Development for 2022 "(photo - duma.gov.ru)"

In the direction of development of the IT industry, Ministry of Digital Development has already told in great detail. Shadayev recalled that the new package of measures to support the industry includes a decrease in income tax to 0% until 2025, the extension of tax benefits to a large number of companies, an increase in the total volume and size of grants for new developments and much more.

The minister said that about 50 thousand small businesses have already used the Ministry of Digital Development program when they buy IT solutions with a 50 percent discount. This is important because the SMB is the driving force. The Ministry of Digital Development claims that the previous tax maneuver gave the IT market growth by 20-25% and brought more than 80 billion rubles of additional taxes to the budget. The department also considers it important to reduce the property tax on land by 2 times for infrastructure companies, for telecom operators, for data centers, to reduce rental rates by 2 years and provide an investment tax deduction.

Regarding training, for example, Ministry of Digital Development in 2022 plans to expand the practice of providing schoolchildren with the opportunity to learn free online programming languages ​ ​ and other categories of citizens - to teach online new digital professions. This year, it is planned to clarify the conditions for the need for digital professions: those who have lost their jobs and are on the labor exchange will pay 100% of such training from the budget, and those who have not entered the exchange - 75%. Parents on parental leave will also receive a large discount.

File:Aquote1.png
We saw a tremendous demand among high school students for online programming training. And this year we are launching a large program for high school, which makes it possible for 2 years to study deeply modern programming languages ​ ​ with the possibility of learning offline: you can go twice a week or to a classroom in your city, and if there is no such opportunity in the city, then you can study with teachers online, - said the minister.
File:Aquote2.png

The Ministry of Digital Development expects that the program will cover more than 100 thousand schoolchildren who will be able to undergo such training for free. And at the level of university departments, it is planned to launch a project that offered business: the opportunity to get a second specialty related to IT, without interruption from training in the main specialty.

File:Aquote1.png
This turned out to be a very popular measure. More than 100 universities have said they will participate. The plan for this year assumes that more than 80 thousand students will sign up for these digital departments, - said Maksut Shadayev.
File:Aquote2.png

And finally, in the field of cybersecurity, the introduction of a mandatory second authorization factor on public services based on SMS, biometrics and banking applications is among the priorities. Technically, the agency is ready to offer a second default authorization factor.

The minister also recalled that responsibility for the leakage of personal data was strengthened - fines for violation of the requirements for their processing were increased by 2 times. However, this is not enough, says Shadayev. You need to switch to negotiable fines.

File:Aquote1.png
We will jointly with Roskomnadzor this year come up with an initiative to introduce large negotiable fines for businesses that have leaked personal data. We know foreign practice - there fines sometimes amount to tens of millions of dollars, if this is sensitive data that business did not protect, - said the minister.
File:Aquote2.png

In the case of a data leak from government agencies, the issue with fines still looks less understandable: "government agencies, after all, live on national money, budget," said Maksut Shadayev.

Another priority in the field of cybersecurity is to move on to real testing of the IT systems of authorities, state-owned companies - CII facilities in order to constantly identify vulnerabilities. Only the regularity of this can guarantee a high level of security. This can be done both using pen tests conducted by specialized companies and through Bug Bounty when a reward is announced for finding vulnerabilities. The latter is a wide practice in the world, Shadayev emphasized.

Launch of cybersecurity center to protect GIS from cyber attacks

in Ministry of Digital Development Russia February 2022, it launched a cybersecurity center to protect state information systems (GIS) from. cyber attacks One of the main tasks of the project is to coordinate the counteraction to computer attacks, as well as their attribution (search for those who are behind such attacks).

Creation of a digital attaché service

As it became known on February 7, 2022, the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation creates a service of "digital attachés" in 16 countries Brazil Vietnam Germany Egypt(,,,,,,,,, India on Iran, in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan,,,, and To Cuba) Malaysia to UAE Singapore Thailand Turkey REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA South Korea promote Russian IT products abroad.

The Ministry of Digital Development of Digital Science announced a competition for the position of "digital attaché." Candidates need to have a higher education (not lower than a specialty or master's degree), as well as know the language of the host country and legislation in the field of trade.

Ministry of Digital Development Science creates "digital attachés" to promote IT products abroad

The selected candidates will conduct comprehensive work to promote domestic software products abroad, provide consulting, information and analytical, legal and organizational support to Russian IT companies in the countries of presence, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko explained.

According to him, in 2024 the geography of the presence of "digital attaches" will be expanded to 28 countries. According to experts, the institute of "digital attaches" as an effective tool for the development of exports of domestic IT solutions is in demand in the markets of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, the press service of the Cabinet notes.

Russoft President Valenten Makarov supported the idea of ​ ​ creating "digital attaches" and believes that this service will contribute to export growth, but by no more than 2-3% per year.

Mikhail Mishustin assigned to the Ministry of Digital Development of the obligation to stimulate demand for IT equipment and software

In June 2021, when the Ministry of Digital Development published a draft resolution on changes in its position, the deputy head of the department, Andrei Zarenin, said that the document would not just become a formality - the ministry would take on a number of large and difficult tasks: this is forecasting demand, and developing measures of state support for the electronic industry, and promoting the use of mainly domestic electronic products. Zarenin also pointed out that the Ministry of Digital Development will also deal with issues of increasing the competitiveness of Russian electronic products.

Maksut Shadayev named the main KPI of the Ministry of Digital Development

Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of Russia Maksut Shadayev in an interview with TAdviser editor-in-chief Alexander Levashov called the main KPI of his ministry - this is a reduction in the staff of officials as a result of automation of the provision of public services.

The largest, mainly processing departments will be reduced. The services they provide are an absolutely formalized process, Maksut Shadayev believes
File:Aquote1.png
If we have digitized interdepartmental exchange as part of the provision of public services, then no official is required, - says Shadayev
File:Aquote2.png

As an example of a situation when decisions are made without human participation, the minister cited payments to families with children aged 3 to 7 years.

File:Aquote1.png
Just for this reason, the president announced the transfer of payments for children for two weeks - they were supposed to be on August 16, and made from August 2. Because the system works automatically. After all, what is a payment for families with children aged 3 to 7 years, which fall under the definition of need? We confirm income, property, everything is checked automatically and a decision is made
File:Aquote2.png

Another example is the Federal Treasury.

File:Aquote1.png
The agency has created a state-of-the-art electronic payment system. Some of the employees were freed up due to this. And they were transferred to accounting in federal departments, which, in turn, made it possible to reduce a large number of departmental accounting services and redirect their employees to other meaningful tasks
File:Aquote2.png

According to Maksut Shadayev, the largest, mainly processing departments will be reduced. The services they provide are an absolutely formalized process, the minister said.

In order to move fully to this model, you need to have "clean data" in online access on the side of departments. It is necessary that they are centralized, harmonized, accessible, added the head of the Ministry of Digital Development.

Maksut Shadayev told in detail what the Ministry of Communications will do under his leadership

Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Maksut Shadayev spoke about the priorities of the Ministry of Communications and Communications and interaction with the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications, speaking at its expanded meeting held on February 5, 2020.

Maksut Shadayev took part in an expanded meeting of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications.

A TAdviser correspondent who attended the event recorded the main points of the minister's report.

File:Aquote1.png
I really hope that we will be able to form constructive interaction between the Ministry of Communications and the committee. We will have constant work, because the introduction of any new technologies is a change in processes that requires changes in the relevant legislation. The speed of those projects that we launch will depend on our close, cohesive work, - said Maksut Shadayev
File:Aquote2.png

At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications noted that the committee was always characterized by a constructive position.

File:Aquote1.png
Our main task is the quality of life, a convenient format of interaction between citizens and the state, this is a change in processes within the authorities themselves, - Shadayev emphasized
File:Aquote2.png

Alexander Khinshtein, at a meeting with Maksut Shadayev, expressed the hope that the reset of relations between the Committee and the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications will continue and their joint work will take place in the closest and most cohesive way.

The head of the ministry spoke about digital services as one of the priorities in the activities of the Ministry of Communications. According to him, it is very important to get qualitative changes in the interaction of citizens and authorities. It is necessary to make it more comfortable, simple and convenient for business and citizens, in particular, making the state not so noticeable by the administrative barriers it creates, as well as removing or expanding the existing bottlenecks.

Shadayev also recalled that, according to the Digital Economy national program, by 2024 the 70% of state services should have an electronic format.

File:Aquote1.png
This is a very difficult, big, ambitious task. Much has been done in the field of digitalization of public services. It's about the quality of their change that the president and the government demand. Moreover, it is necessary not only that people do not need to visit authorities and various other state structures, it is also important to make many public services and services seamlessly accessible to our citizens, the minister drew attention to
File:Aquote2.png

Such accessibility, in his opinion, in some cases in principle eliminates the need for public services or their provision in a proactive mode. In cases where the need to apply to state institutions, nevertheless, remains, the task, according to Shadayev, is to reduce the corresponding process to an extremely simple scheme: filling out the form is to receive a service "in two clicks."

File:Aquote1.png
We must move away from large and complex forms, optimize the process of consideration of applications. To make sure that the time for the provision of public services is significantly reduced - by an order of magnitude, at times. Or make sure that they are provided completely online. Unfortunately, for many of them, the term has not changed for decades, - said the minister. - At the same time, when reducing the timing of the provision of services, it is important to eliminate the subjectivity of officials that they have when making decisions within the framework of certain processes. This is important, since the human factor remains at the municipal and regional levels
File:Aquote2.png

In addition, in his opinion, digitalization should result in a reduction in labor costs at the level of the state apparatus. Officials should be sent to work that requires intellectual activity, and not processing sets of documents received to receive public services.

Digitalization should result in a reduction in labor costs at the level of the state apparatus, - said Maksut Shadayev.

The minister also spoke about measures that will help solve existing problems. Among them - the legalization of the system of identification and authentication of citizens - the introduction of it at the legislative level as a single online system; ensuring the legal significance of documents submitted in electronic format, in particular through biometric online identification; resolving the issue of the obligation of government agencies to register citizens in the MPSC systems against their wishes; replacing paper passports of citizens with electronic ones.

Speaking about the automation and digitalization of state and municipal services, Maksut Shadayev noted that for the development of relevant services, a number of changes will need to be made to federal law No. 210, which determines the procedure for obtaining them. He also noted the need to move from consistently filling out a number of electronic applications to one document that allows you to launch the provision of a whole range of state and municipal services - the transition to the so-called "super services." In addition, according to the minister, it is necessary to make legally significant not only paper documents, but also electronic ones.

File:Aquote1.png
For all municipal services, we must switch to a registered model of accounting for the result of their provision. However, if a person wants to receive a paper document, he should be guaranteed the possibility of printing it from the relevant registers in the MPSC. In addition, special attention should be paid to the protection of these registers, - said Maksut Shadayev
File:Aquote2.png

Subjectivity in decision-making, in his opinion, can be eliminated using the so-called "checklists." Some of them, as the minister noted, will be filled automatically, some - by the officials themselves. According to the checklist, the electronic algorithm will form the corresponding document.

The minister also touched upon the problem of receiving paper registered letters from courts, municipal and state bodies.

File:Aquote1.png
We do not propose to abandon paper registered letters yet, but it is necessary that all services also imply electronic notification, "Shadayev said.
File:Aquote2.png

The need to digitalize control and supervisory activities, according to him, is caused by the fact that, despite the existence of a single register of inspections, at the regional and municipal levels, many inspections are carried out unscheduled. At the same time, the system of these unscheduled inspections is not transparent enough.

File:Aquote1.png
Here we propose to streamline the conduct of inspections, making it mandatory to post information on both planned and unscheduled inspections in the register. At the same time, the business will have to provide all reporting to government agencies in electronic form. In general, all interaction between the inspector and business should take place in electronic format, - said the head of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications
File:Aquote2.png

At the same time, he assured that the use of Internet of things technology will be of great benefit to control and supervisory activities. Appropriate sensors can replace inspectors to quickly record violations.

As a number of other necessary measures in the field of electronic interaction with the state, Maksut Shadayev outlined providing citizens with access to their data available to the state and creating a single window service for more objective public hearings.

File:Aquote1.png
Residents should have new mechanisms to influence the local agenda. The authorities should become more sensitive - to respond more quickly to requests and complaints from residents. In this sense, to a certain extent, it will be necessary to revise the entire existing procedure for appeals from citizens - so that those problems that concern the citizen at a particular moment in time and can be promptly resolved are eliminated, - explained Maksut Shadayev
File:Aquote2.png

The minister also drew attention to the lack of understanding of citizens, where to file complaints and how powers are distributed between the state, regional and municipal levels.

File:Aquote1.png
We believe that it is necessary to create one window for complaints from citizens and implement in it the mechanism of intelligent automatic routing to that department, the executor who is responsible for the specific issue raised by the citizen. At the same time, each citizen's problem should have its own digital algorithms for solving it, and a person should be able to confirm its solution. Moreover, in addition to how to file a complaint, a citizen should be able to submit certain proposals, - said Shadayev
File:Aquote2.png

At the end of the meeting, the head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications, Alexander Khinshtein, expressed the hope that the reset of relations between the committee and the Ministry of Communications will continue and their joint work will take place in the closest and most cohesive way.

File:Aquote1.png
Our tasks are the same and, I hope, there is one understanding, - said the head of the committee
File:Aquote2.png

Also, for the maximum success of digitalization, Alexander Khinshtein proposed to be subordinated to the ministry, Rosleskhoz since, in his opinion, there is already a need for statistics showing how many trees will not be cut down as a result of a departure from mass paper circulation.

Earlier, on January 27, 2020, Maksut Shadayev spoke at the working group of the State Council and listed the main priorities for the development of the digital economy, including reducing the time for receiving public services, equal access of students to high-quality education and the possibility of its personalization, the availability of basic medical care.

The government complains about poor discipline in the Ministry of Communications and calls for order

In March 2019, the Government Department for Monitoring and Verification of Implementation of Decisions complained about poor discipline in the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media. 

The fact that the government called on Minister Konstantin Noskov to restore order in the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications and take appropriate measures is stated in the letter of the department, a copy of which came to the Vedomosti newspaper.

Minister of Digital Development Konstantin Noskov

As reported in the letter, the reports of the ministry, as a rule, are received by the government after a working day, in violation of the established deadlines, while being registered retroactively. So, the report on one of the instructions had to be worked out with the employees of the ministry on Saturday, although the deadlines for it expired the day before, as a result, the report was signed, but registered retroactively.

At the same time, the control division of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications does not know at all about the stage of preparing reports to the government. The leadership of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications approaches the execution of orders formally, the ministry has weak discipline, and its employees do not bear personal responsibility, the department complains.

In addition, according to the data at the beginning of 2019, over the past three years, the share of the president's instructions executed in due time Russia Vladimir Putin has decreased from 45% to 34%, and the cabinet of ministers from 93% to 85%. At the same time, the publication does not specify whether these figures relate to the work of the Ministry of Communications.

The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications replied that there were fewer overdue orders in the second half of 2018, and the number of orders itself increased. They also assured that the leadership of the department is taking all measures to reduce such cases - the head of the department, Konstantin Noskov, holds operational meetings every week, and official inspections are carried out on the fact of violation of discipline.[11]

The Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation will act as the coordinator of creation of an IT hub in Vietnam

On February 20, 2019, the Minis try of Digital Development of the Russian Federation announced that it would coordinate the creation of an innovative hub in Vietnam, which, among other things, will support Russian IT companies in entering the Vietnamese market. The corresponding decision was made during the visit of the Russian delegation headed by the deputy head of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications Mikhail Mamonov to Vietnam.

The hub should include a site with exhibition and demonstration and office infrastructure and be managed by an experienced operator with competencies to promote companies in local markets. The hub can also assist promising startups and IT companies in accessing national venture capital and expertise.

The hub could be the Center for Russian High Technologies, which will be created under the auspices of the Ministry of Communications of Russia, the deputy head of the ministry said. Interest in participating in the project has already been expressed by Geoskan, InfoWatch, Kaspersky Lab, Mikran, T8, Rosatom University and other Russian companies. According to Mikhail Mamonov, the center will become a permanent platform for scientific and technological cooperation between Russian and Vietnamese universities and companies in the field of cybersecurity, IT, critical infrastructure and personnel training.

The Vietnamese side has shown special interest in Russian IT solutions in the field of e-government, the development of the portal of public services, information security, smart city technologies, the organization of multifunctional centers and others. In the coming months, Vietnam will prepare and send Russia a project for the development of e-government in its country based on Russian technologies, as well as proposals for the participation of Russian companies in the implementation of specific projects in the republic. After that, a "roadmap" will be drawn up for the implementation of the project.

Russia and Vietnam are already actively interacting in the IT sphere in February 2019. In particular, Rostelecom cooperates with Vietnam Telecom International on the organization of an intelligent communication network, Mail.Ru and the VKontakte service are ready to cooperate in the creation of Internet services for Vietnamese residents, the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics trains Vietnamese specialists in the field of communications and telecommunications[12] as [13].

2018

Audit by the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation of the execution in the Ministry of Budget for 2018

On June 24, 2019, it became known that the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation checked the execution of the budget for 2018 at the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media.

During the audit, violations were revealed in the formation of budget reports. In particular, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications did not reflect in the budget accounting information about two bank guarantees received to secure obligations under contracts in the amount of 21.14 million rubles. Also, the document did not find information about the apartments that the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications transferred to employees for free use, and about the written-off property with a total of 82 units at a notional price of 1 ruble with an estimated value of 14.29 million rubles.

Also, the Accounts Chamber noted shortcomings in the disposal of property: the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications placed its hardware and software complexes and information systems at the technical sites of other organizations without concluding contracts for responsible storage or transfer for free use. This entails the risks of losing this property.

In addition, violations of the Rules for the preparation of plans for the informatization of state bodies were revealed. The Ministry of Communications and Mass Media as an authorized state body did not comply with the deadlines established by the rules for the expert assessment of documents on information and communication technologies Ошибка цитирования Отсутствует закрывающий тег </ref>.

Konstantin Noskov will be able to have up to 10 deputies "(photo - bm.hse.ru)"

According to the document, the minister will now be able to acquire 10 deputies, and the number of departments should expand to 18.

Earlier, in accordance with the 2008 government decree on the Ministry of Communications, the minister was allowed to have up to 8 deputies and 15 departments in the main areas of activity.

New Minister - Konstantin Noskov

On May 18, the president Russia Vladimir Putin approved Dmitry Medvedev the candidacy proposed by the Prime Minister for the Konstantin Noskov post of Minister of Communications.

Renamed the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media

On May 15, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree renaming the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media to the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media. He announced the signing of the document at a meeting with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who put forward a corresponding proposal.

Dmitry Medvedev suggested that Vladmir Putin rename the Ministry of Communications, Putin agreed and signed a decree

The renaming was required "in order to implement the very digital agenda that the whole world is engaged in and which is absolutely relevant in our country," Medvedev explained.

The day before, on May 14, TAdviser wrote that Konstantin Noskov, head of the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation (AC), could head the updated ministry.

AC is the project office of the Digital Economy program, and Noskov previously, in 2009-2011, headed the IT department of the White House.

Joining the Digital Health Consortium

The national consortium "Digital Health" began work in Russia, the memorandum of creation of which was signed on February 16, 2018 at the National Medical Research Center named after Almazov. The consortium is attended by the Shvabe holding (structure of Rostec Group of Companies), the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media of Russia, Rusatom Healthcare, Almazov National Medical Research Center, Lomonosov Moscow State University, ITMO University and the engineering center ElTech SPb.

2017

Reporting irregularities

In 2016, the Ministry of Communications again violated the rules for preparing informatization plans. In particular, the department signed a contract worth 41.6 million rubles for the event, which was absent in the approved plan. The Accounts Chamber came to this conclusion during the audit of the Ministry of[14].

In addition, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications admits violations when approving state assignments. For example, in the state assignment for 2016 for the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Research Institute Voskhod" there are types of activities that this institution does not carry out. The report on the implementation of this state assignment was not published in a timely manner on the website for posting information about bus.gov.ru state institutions, the same applies to the task for the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Center for Expertise and Coordination of Informatization." At the same time, most of the works and services from the standard list of the Ministry of Communications, published in the Electronic Budget system, do not correspond to the generally accepted list of public services.

2016

Internet traffic of the Russian Federation under control

On February 11, 2016, the Ministry of Communications announced the preparation of amendments to the laws "On Communications" and "On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection," which implies state control over the passage of Internet traffic[15] of the Russian[15].

The authorities want to better understand how the network segment works (2016)

The amended legislation will ensure the security of Runet, in particular - protect against external attacks, the accompanying note to the document says.

The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications offers several ways for government authorities to track Internet traffic routes through communication networks:

  • creating a state system for monitoring "the use of global addressing resources and global Internet network identifiers (DNS and IP addresses)." Such a system will control the operation of critical elements of the Runet infrastructure. At the same time, it is proposed to create a register of IP addresses of the Russian segment of the Network.
  • control over foreign communication channels and traffic exchange points. According to the document, operators with an appropriate license will organize cross-border data transfer. The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications proposes to oblige operators to use only traffic exchange points entered in the state register.

In early February 2016, on the website of the Government of the Russian Federation, a draft order of the Ministry of Communications on SORM (a system of technical means to ensure the functions of operational-search measures) was published and presented for public discussion. The document contains requirements for the use of telegraph communication as the third point of connection of Russian special services to communication channels.

Plans of the Ministry of Communications for the period 2016-2021

In June 2016, the Ministry of Communications published an order "On the approval of the action plan of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation for the period 2016-2021[16][17].

The list of events precedes the determination of the main goal of the Ministry of Communications - improving the quality of life and work of citizens, developing the country's economic potential based on the use of ICT. To achieve it, from the point of view of the department, it must provide high-quality communication and Internet access, eliminate "digital inequality," develop an information environment, prevent information threats, and ensure the provision of public services in electronic form.

Growth in the IT industry

The schedule contains 79 points. From it, for example, you can find out that in 2016 the volume of production in the Russian IT industry should reach p390 billion, and by 2021 it should increase to p700 billion. Labor productivity in it will have to grow by 6% annually, and the number of created high-performance jobs annually will be 15 thousand.

Import substitution of software

The plans of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications regarding the selection of priority projects for the development of competitive Russian software do not go further than 2016, within which their number should be eight. In the columns opposite the rest of the years there are dashes. Apparently, this is due to the fact that the financing of projects in the amount of p5 billion has so far been determined only for the current year.

At the same time, the Register of Domestic Software, supervised by the ministry, in 2016 should include 2 thousand programs, and by 2021 - 5 thousand. As explained by CNews in the Ministry of Communications, this forecast was made based on the current dynamics of filing applications, "as well as taking into account its potential values ​ ​ in future periods as the register is filled."

Use of public services and services

Over the next six years, the share of citizens receiving public services in electronic form will increase from 50% to 80%, and the share of provided electronic services from their total number will increase from 25% to 50%.

The share of entrepreneurs who downloaded the plugin of the Independent Registrar system, which ensures the recording of tender actions on electronic trading platforms, will increase from 6% to 30% (of the total number of users). The share of citizens using GIS housing and communal services in 2016 will be only 0.1%, but by 2021 this figure should grow 300 times - up to 30%.

Development Internet

According to the plans of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, by 2021 only settlements with fewer than 20 thousand inhabitants will remain without fiber-optic Internet, and 97% of citizens will be able to receive high-definition TV by that time.

Also of interest are the plans of the Ministry of Communications to increase the number of Russians using legal Internet content. In 2016, their share is estimated at 20%, and in 2021 it should grow to 42%.

The Ministry of Communications of Russia sums up the results of 2014

Main article here.

The Accounts Chamber spoke about billions of dollars in violations in the Ministry of Communications

After checking the execution of the federal budget for 2012, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications established violations in the amount of 5.1 billion rubles. This was announced at the "Government Hour" in the State Duma by the auditor of the Accounts Chamber Sergei Agaptsov.

File:Aquote1.png
The expenses were carried out in violation of the current legislation, without achieving the required result, - according to the control department. "The main reason is poor-quality budget planning, low performance and financial discipline, as well as the untimely conclusion of agreements on the use of subsidies from the federal budget and delays in transferring these funds to recipients."
File:Aquote2.png

In the subordinate Rossvyaz, the volume of financial violations amounted to 171.9 million rubles. The auditors' claims were mainly related to the delay in the delivery of equipment for the Olympic communication facility. The amount of violations identified in Roskomnadzor amounted to 575.8 million rubles. In this case, we are talking about violation of accounting legislation, non-compliance with the "principle of effectiveness and targeted nature of the use of budget funds[18] in the Ministry of Telecom and Mass[18].

Creation of a working group to support Russian developers of computer games

In May 2014, the Ministry of Communications announced the creation of a working group under the department to support Russian developers of computer games. Within the framework of the new group, it is planned to discuss the situation in the industry, the peculiarities of its functioning, as well as develop ways to solve possible problems.

The first meeting of the group was attended by the deputy head of the Ministry of Communications of Russia Alexei Volin, the head of the legal service of Mail.Ru Anton Malginov, the head of the gaming department of 1C Nikolai Baryshnikov and other representatives of the gaming industry.

Alexey Volin during the meeting noted that computer games have long been out of the attention of the state, and they must be considered as a segment of new media. In his opinion, it is important to understand what kind of support for the industry can be provided, how the Ministry of Communications can help. First of all, this applies to those games that fulfill the tasks of education and patriotic education of young people, he added.

According to expert data provided by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, the volume of the Russian computer games market is about $1.5 billion, and about 25 million citizens regularly play computer games in Russia.

Deputy Minister of Communications and Communications Alexei Volin held the first meeting of the working group to support domestic developers of computer games

This market is comparable or even larger than cinema, but for some reason cinema is given tremendous attention, and computer games are considered harmful. However, a number of games perform an educational function, teaches children and adults patriotism, "said Alexey Volin.

He added that piracy poses a serious threat to games . The agency is actively discussing this problem in relation to films, audio content, and computer games should also be protected from pirates, the deputy minister said.

In the fall of 2014, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia, together with Uralvagonzavod, plans to hold the final of the Russian championship in the game "World of Tanks," and at the end of 2014 - the championship in the game "Il-2 Sturmovik: Battle for Stalingrad," dedicated to the continuation of the series of flight simulators "Il-2 Sturmovik."

Creation of a project office to coordinate the transfer of public services to electronic form

September 15, 2014 it became known about the next meeting of the Subcommittee on the use of information technologies in the provision of state and municipal services.

The head of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia announced the creation of a project office ministry to coordinate the activities of federal authorities and regions in the process of transferring public services to electronic form. The results of the work and emerging issues will be submitted to the subcommittee for consideration.

This is the second project office in the department. Since 2013, the ministry has been operating a project office coordinating the implementation of the Interdepartmental Electronic Interaction System (SMEV) in the regions.

File:Aquote1.png
A lot of work has already been done to transfer public services to electronic form. At the same time, if you look at monitoring the quality of the provision of public services, it becomes obvious that not enough has been done. It is necessary to make even more efforts to bring the provision mechanisms in line with the requirements of the legislation. For these purposes, a project office was created, "Nikolai Nikiforov explained.

2013

Team updated by a third

In February 2013, it became known that the staff of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications was updated by about a third in six months, Svetlana Yershova, director of the organizational development department of the ministry, told Vedomosti. Since the summer of 2012, 94 people have left, 78 have been hired - the total number of employees has decreased from 329 to 318. About half of those who came have experience in the civil service, the rest are former managers of MTS, VimpelCom, Megafon, Tele2, Mail.ru, Runa Capital, Acronis, etc. 12 departments remained in the Ministry of Communications: some were disbanded (information societies, state communications and digital TV policies), but departments for the development of the IT industry, regulation of radio frequencies, communication networks and infrastructure projects were created.

The volume of the salary fund has not changed, confirms Yershova, but the point on this issue has not been set: discussions continue[19] Mass[19].

The initial impulses to increase wages were eventually reflected in the order signed by Nikolai Nikiforov dated 14.03.2013 No. 49 "On the approval of the Anti-Corruption Plan of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation," where paragraph 2.3 states "Establishment of a special procedure for remuneration of civil servants of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia, depending on the achievement of performance indicators of professional performance, as well as a unified approach to the payment of bonuses to civil servants for fulfilling especially important and complex tasks based on the results of work. " The implementation date is October 2013. Thus, another shuffle of personnel is quite likely by mid-2013.

Nikolai Nikiforov also asked to allocate him 150 million rubles a year for his personal special fund, from which he planned to pay for expert consulting services of third parties without competitive procedures provided for by law. In particular, it was planned to pay for the services of foreign consulting companies, which were supposed to transfer the functions of developing industry bills.

By May 2013, 12 departments with 6 deputy ministers were formed in the structure of the ministry, which renewed the staff of managers by 70%, despite the fact that Nikolai Nikiforov said that he would retain the continuity of the team of the former head of the department. The department goes for approval of an order to increase the number of departments to 15.

Of the four deputy ministers, so far only one has retained his place - State Secretary Alexander Maslov, who, apparently, after being awarded the "retired medal" at the board of the Ministry of Communications on May 23, moves to OJSC Rostelecom"," where, most likely, he will replace Naum Marder, criticism from whom Minister Nikiforov could not forgive.

With the arrival of Nikolai Nikiforov from the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, Deputy Minister Ilya Massukh, who was responsible for IT issues, was the first to leave the department. Before leaving, he made a number of loud statements and sharply criticized Nikiforov's course.

Naum Marder was the next to leave the department, who began his work in the Ministry in 1980 and interrupted it only during the reign of Reiman.

Before the Prime Minister signed his resignation petition, Naum Marder called some initiatives supported by Nikolai Nikiforov unreasonable, including the lack of economic justification in the project to ensure universal broadband Internet access in the Russian Federation and haste in the development of especially important by-laws. Quite quietly left the post of Deputy Minister Alexei Malinin, who was in charge of television issues.

Of the 12 directors of departments, two retained their places: Larina and Tikhomirov.

Minister Nikiforov speaks very vividly at meetings on the Open Government, makes many statements about transparency and readiness for public control, but all appointments are made under cover of secrecy, secretly and clearly taking into account the interests of various groups of influence.

The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications version 2.0, as it is now called, has undergone several more serious organizational perturbations. So, in turn, classic meetings for federal ministries with the participation of heads of services and agencies, directors of departments are no longer held. From the outside, it may seem that in the updated department from now on everything goes by itself, but in fact it is not so.

To strengthen the ties of the "new signalmen" in early March 2013, employees of the Ministry of Communications, headed by the minister, held a street team building in the form of a quest game.

Resignation of Rostelecom CEO

The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications under the leadership of Nikolai Nikiforov on the second attempt was able to remove Alexander Provotorov from the post of head of Rostelecom. On March 28, 2013, the board of directors of Rostelecom, the largest telecommunications operator in the Russian Federation, at a meeting approved the early resignation of the company's president and the appointment of Sergei Kalugin, co-founder and former general director of National Cable Networks (now a subsidiary of Rostelecom).

The initiator, represented by the ministry, did not hide his desire by any means to change Provotorov appointed in the summer of 2012 for the next term. In order not to excite the minds of citizens, Sergei Kalugin publicly abandoned the "golden parachutes." This should undoubtedly be considered a hardware victory for the Ministry of Communications[20].

Backlog in budget development

According to the Ministry of Finance, the telecommunications ministry occupies a solid 85th place among the main managers of budget funds in the Russian system of executive authorities.

As of April 1, 2013, the ministry has mastered 1 billion out of 15.1 billion allocated for expenses for all items. As an example, we note that the criticized at all levels of the Ministry of Education has an indicator of 126 billion out of 391.

Change of the head of the Russian Post

By analogy with the change of Provotorov, it was planned to change the general director of the largest postal operator - the state "Russian Post." However, apparently, the capabilities of Alexander Kiselev were underestimated and instead of a smooth change in the head of one of the most criticized companies in Russia, the Ministry was able only to transfer the Federal State Unitary Enterprise from the subordination of Rossvyaz directly to the Ministry, and after a series of scandalous publications in the press, which were clearly custom-made, hardly pushed the candidacy of the former general director of Tele-2 - Dmitry Strashnov. Interestingly, the text of the orders of April 19, 2013 on the dismissal of Kiselev and the appointment of Strashnov was removed from the official website of the department.

In the case of mail, the victory of Nikolai Nikiforov overnight may turn into a weight that will drag the department to the very bottom. Already accustomed to attacks from citizens, the Federal Communications Agency was a shield that protected the department's image from the glory of a "toxic postal asset."

Confirmation of uncertainty and misunderstanding of ways to solve the problem can be the words of Nikolai Anatolyevich himself expressed on April 15, 2012 in an interview with correspondents of the radio station "Echo of Moscow":

File:Aquote1.png
The enterprise (Russian Post) needs a serious reboot and modernization, we are preparing a comprehensive program. In order to quickly make these decisions and quickly implement them, in fact, it took the decision that was made. Russian Post is such an enterprise where a revolution, in principle, is impossible. We must establish how the clock of its effective operation. It makes no sense to expect from the Post some quick results, some miracles. They won't happen.

Preparation of radio frequency distribution auctions

Since March 2013, reports have repeatedly appeared in the press that the Ministry of Communications intends to take away from Roskomnadzor the authority to conduct trading on radio frequencies. The spectrum is planned to be distributed through auctions, and not by competition.

"The organization of tenders is carried out by the federal executive body in the field of communications," says the draft decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, prepared by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications. According to the document, bidding in the form of an auction or competition will be carried out at the expense of the federal budget allocated by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications. To make a decision on putting up frequencies for auction, a decision of the State Commission on Radio Frequencies (SCRF) on the limited spectrum is required.

Earlier, Deputy Minister of Communications and Mass Media Denis Sverdlov said that all frequencies, including those requiring conversion (cleaning from military and special-purpose electronic equipment), will be put up for auction. At the same time, the frequencies sold will be burdened with obligations on the timing of the deployment of networks and the quality of services provided, he specified earlier at a press briefing. Thus, the Ministry is likely to take into account the transfer of powers from its "daughter" into its own hands within the framework of the updated law "On Communications" and deprive the service of an important function, again under the pretext of "improving efficiency."

The result of the contradictions was a breakdown, due to the lack of a quorum, of the meeting of the State Commission on Radio Frequencies (SCRF), which was supposed to be held on April 30, 2013. As already written, the main issue on the agenda of the meeting was to allocate 1900-1920/1980-2000 MHz bands to the Antares group for the construction of an LTE network. Such breakdowns have not been observed before and everything indicates a specific and accurate calculation.

In May 2013, a discussion is underway on the reassignment of Roskomnadzor directly to the Government of the country, as Nikolai Nikiforov himself speaks about.

Delaying the preparation of the financial model

An objective indicator of the presence of internal contradictions in the structure of the department is the fact that among 90 federal authorities, the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media was among three out of the entire list who did not submit the approved financial model for the period 2014-2016 (May 2013). This is evidence of a clear struggle to control financial flows. As mentioned above, there is no documented distribution of duties between the six deputies of Nikolai Nikiforov, and the undercover intrigues between Denis Sverdlov and Mikhail Evraev for control over the most capital-intensive projects do not contribute to a quick exit from this peculiar bureaucratic peak.

Another important fact testifying to the internal contradictions and attempts of most deputies to pull over the "financial blanket" is the Dmitry Medvedev closure of the most corruption-intensive documents - the approved procurement plan, work plan and inspections subordinate to the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of organizations for 2013, from the beginning of which 5 months have already passed. The placement of these documents is a mandatory requirement of the anti-corruption strategy for all federal authorities without exception, aimed at exercising public control.

Slipping of the Communications Act

The leadership of the Ministry of Communications promised to write a new law "On Communications" back in the summer of 2012, planning to submit it to the Duma in December 2012. In March 2013, the ministry first presented the concept of this document to operators.

After a heated discussion in the press and the professional community, it was necessary to make such a large number of amendments to the new law that there is practically no chance of consideration in the State Duma before the summer holidays of the deputies.

Failure to comply with the deadlines, lack of completeness and, sometimes important, detail of certain provisions, the unavailability of related documents and their proper execution - all these are the consequences of internal contradictions.

Speaking with a reporting report, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that since the beginning of 2013, 80 bills have been sent to the State Duma. Having carried out simple calculations and dividing the number of documents by the number of ministries, about 4 bills from each are obtained. In May 2013, in the Duma, opposite the column of the Ministry of Communications, the value is 0.

Delay in the development of a new law "On Mail"

In 2013, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications decided to carry out a radical reform of the Russian Post, dividing it into a public service network and logistics infrastructure.

After considering the sent bill, the Ministry of Economic Development prepared an opinion on the draft new law "On Postal Service." It indicates that some of the proposed provisions of the project may lead to monopolization by Russian Post of services for the delivery of subscription publications. In addition, the Ministry of Economic Development pointed out the possibility of unjustified restrictions on the activities of entrepreneurs in the field of postal services, as well as an increase in their expenses, as well as the expenses of "all levels of the budget system of the Russian Federation."

In general, following the consideration of the bill, the Ministry of Economic Development concluded that it contains provisions that introduce excessive administrative restrictions. In addition, the provisions of the bill contribute to the emergence of unreasonable expenses of entrepreneurs and state budgets at all levels.

The growth of administration instead of the "reduction of barriers" recited by Denis Sverdlov looks at least strange.

Alexey Mitrofanov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications, also criticized the timing of the preparation of the draft law "On Postal Services."

File:Aquote1.png
The government is already coordinating the 85th version of the law, the deputy recalled. - I understand that there is no limit to perfection, but it is time to contribute. The mechanism for adopting the law is such that by the second reading all contradictions will surface in the Duma[21] of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass[21].

The politician also recalled that the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications promised to submit the law back in March 2013. But everything shows that until the end of May, the law will not be introduced.

At an expanded meeting of the board of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, Alexei Mitrofanov again addressed the topic of postal rule-making:

File:Aquote1.png
At the moment, the law has not yet been submitted to the State Duma. We expected in February, March, April, we are waiting in May. If you do in June, it's also good.
File:Aquote2.png

The failure of Denis Sverdlov's undertakings to develop and adopt a new law resulted in the fact that Mikhail Evraev will deal with all postal issues, as well as the presentation of the bill in the lower house of Parliament. The "profile" adviser to the minister from the new team, Boris Onikul, was actually fired for Sverdlov's failures.

Working out Medvedev's order to create centers for breakthrough IT research

In May 2013, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications announced that, in accordance with the instructions of Dmitry Medvedev, together with the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Finance, they worked on the development of breakthrough research centers in the field of IT in Russia on the basis of existing universities and research institutes. DETAILS.

Kozyrev - Deputy Minister of Communications for Electronic Government

In October 2013, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev appointed Alexei Kozyrev as Deputy Minister of Communications and Mass Media (Nikolai Nikiforov).

The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications reported that in his new position Kozyrev will continue to deal with e-government issues. This area was left without a supervising deputy minister after in the summer of 2013, the deputy head of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications Denis Sverdlov left his post and became an adviser to the minister.

Alexey Kozyrev is a member of Denis Sverdlov's team, and he will continue the reforms launched by Sverdlovsk[22] added to the Ministry of Communications and Mass Communications and appointed[22].

One of the main initiatives of the leadership of the Ministry of Communications, headed by Nikolai Nikiforov in the field of electronic government, was an attempt to transfer the functions of the sole executor from Rostelecom to the Voskhod Research Institute and Russian Post. However, this has not yet happened, and the ministry concluded by the end of 2013 a number of contracts on this topic with Rostelecom.

In October, it is expected that contracts will be concluded with the operator for 2014, and Voskhod will become its subcontractor. As CNews previously wrote, Voskhod director Alexei Sividov may move to Rostelecom as vice president to coordinate this activity.

During this period, the main efforts of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications in the field of e-government are associated with the development of a system of interdepartmental electronic interaction (SMEV). In particular, as Kozyrev himself recently said at the CNews round table, it is planned to introduce a system for guaranteed message delivery to SMEV and simplify the procedure for connecting applications.

The main sphere of the resigned Denis Sverdlov was telecommunications. The position of the deputy minister in this area is still vacant. Market participants predict Eldar Razroev, who became an adviser to the Minister of Communications in May, and the head of the infrastructure projects department of the ministry Dmitry Alkhazov.

2012

Shchegolev leaves his deputies in Rossvyaz and Roskomnadzor

Expecting his own resignation at the beginning of 2012, Igor Shchegolev made a kind of "gift" to the new minister for appointment. Two deputy ministers from Shchegolev's team headed federal agencies in the structure of the Ministry of Communications - Oleg Dukhovnitsky By Order of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin No. 632-r of April 23, 2012, he was appointed head of the Federal Communications Agency (Rossvyaz), Alexander Zharov By Order of May 3, 2012 No. 702-r was appointed head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technologies and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor).

Nikiforov becomes minister

In May 2012, Nikolai Nikiforov was appointed Minister of Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation. According to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin "On the structure of federal executive bodies," all federal services and agencies accountable to the Ministry of Communications have been preserved in the new government structure.

The new minister and his predecessor Igor Shchegolev, who will continue to oversee communication as an assistant to the President, agreed to cooperate in the future.

File:Aquote1.png
And I was very pleased that Igor Olegovich invited me yesterday to an informal meeting with the team, at which I was received very warmly, "said Nikolai Nikiforov.
File:Aquote2.png

According to him, they discussed a wide range of issues, and close working interaction is planned in the future.

Nikolai Nikiforov did not give promising statements on the threshold of a new position. But he publicly promised to decide on priorities soon and said that the department should show the results of the work in six months. The minister announced the requirement to find the very results of the work within three months at one of the first meetings with the heads of structural divisions.

Director of the Development Department is headed by Svetlana Yershova

Since September 2012, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications has been working as the director of the department for organizational development, which oversees, among other things, personnel policy, a Svetl ana Yershova, former vice president for organization of the Yota operator, invited by Denis Sverdlov.

Alexey Kozyrev - Head of the Department of Electronic Government

On November 12, 2012, 35-year-old Alexei Kozyrev joined the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications as director of the e-government development department.

This department arose in connection with the renaming of the Department of State Policy in the field of creation and development of electronic government, which existed in the previous structure of the Ministry of Communications. It was headed by Andrey Lipov, in November 2012, the head of the president's department for the application of IT and the development of electronic democracy.

Alexey Kozyrev became at least the fourth new director of the department, appointed by the Minister of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov. Earlier, Oleg Pak, who moved from the Ministry of Economic Development, became the director of the department of state policy in the field of IT and coordination of informatization, and Ekaterina Osadchaya, who had previously worked at ProfMedia, headed the department of information and public relations. Tatyana Cherkas, who previously held the post of deputy director of the Department of Economics and Finance of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, became the director of the department of case management.

According to the order on the new structure, signed by Nikolai Nikiforov on October 31, 2012, these and other departments of the ministry change the names and some functions.

The department, headed by Oleg Pak, has been transformed into a department for coordinating informatization. The unit responsible for public relations will be called the Department of External Communications. Instead of the liquidated department of case management, a department of organizational development will appear, which has selected accounting and reporting functions.

By the end of 2012, some of the proteges of Nikolai Nikiforov himself began to leave their posts. So, Olga Strykhar, who came from Tatarstan to the post of assistant, resigned without working in the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media for a year. It was Olga Strykhar who was the press secretary of the Ministry of Informatization and Communications of the Republic of Tatarstan when Nikolai Nikiforov was its head. In May 2012, after his appointment as federal minister, she moved to work with him in Moscow. Strykhar returned back to Tatarstan. According to rumors, the reason for the dismissal was a conflict with one of the deputy. Ministers - Denis Sverdlov, who is responsible for the law on postal services. The adviser to the new minister, Boris Oniknul, also moved from the ministry to another job.

Abolishing "mobile slavery"

Amendments to the law "On Communications," allowing subscribers to save a mobile phone number when changing operators, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed in December 2012. The basis for saving your phone number when changing the operator is the decision of the subscriber without the need to obtain the consent of the authorized federal executive body. The user must pay off all debts to the carrier, and the mobile service provider must ensure that the number is transferred to the network of another carrier.

By law, room portability must be implemented from December 1, 2013. The operator may charge for the provision of the service a fee not exceeding 100 rubles. First, it will be provided at the regional level.

However, mobile operators may not have time to introduce a number portability service by December 1, 2013, said the head of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media Nikolai Nikiforov on the air of the Ekho Moskvy radio station.

File:Aquote1.png
Telecom operators say that they want to try not to have time by December 1 to introduce the portability of the telephone number. We want to disagree with this, but it is obvious that if there is no technical readiness, then it will be necessary to think about some kind of transition period, "the minister said. He noted that the position of mobile service providers "does not quite suit the ministry."

The curator of the project in the Government Arkady Dvorkovich, as soon as possible, defends one of his image projects, the implementation of which is already under threat on time.

The tasks of the ministry until 2018 are outlined

On September 5, 2012, Minister of Communications and Mass Media Nikolai Nikiforov presented five initiative blocks to public hearings, which the department intends to actively develop in the next 5-6 years.

On the 2018.minsvyaz.ru website, created personally by the minister and "a number of colleagues in their free time" until September 30, 2012, citizens of the whole country can express their wishes and comments on five blocks.

The minister proposed five main areas for discussion, and also presented the main tasks that should be completed within the framework of the existing government.

Communication Tasks:

  • meeting the quality of communication of up to 80% of the country's inhabitants;
  • availability of the Internet in all modes of transport;

  • IT industry growth rate is three times higher than GDP growth .

Electronic services The minister noted that in this block we mean electronic services in general, and not only within the framework of the project to provide public services. Tasks:

  • the ability to receive 100% of public services on their own at any time;
  • assessment of the quality of the services provided;
  • complete transition to electronic passports;
  • satisfaction with the services provided at the level of 90%;
  • reducing cash payments to a minimum;
  • the ability to receive government services electronically in 80% of cases.

At the same time, Nikolai Nikiforov noted that among these blocks IT and Electronic services will be priority. "IT is one of the most important growth points of our economy," the minister said.

According to the minister, after the completion of the public discussion, projects will be formulated, the implementation of which will be a priority for the department until 2018. "We plan on this de site to report on the progress of implementation and give the opportunity to comment and discuss projects," the minister concluded.

2011: Prosecutor General's Office reveals embezzlement of 300 million rubles

  • On August 30, 2011, the Prosecutor General's Office announced the identification of embezzlement of budget funds allocated for the implementation of the federal target program "Electronic Russia (2002-2010)."

The materials of the audit carried out by the Prosecutor General's Office were sent to the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia has concluded state contracts with Rostelecom OJSC worth more than 2 billion rubles. for the performance of work within the framework of the federal target program" Electronic Russia (2002-2010), "the Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement. - During the audit carried out by the General Prosecutor's Office in the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia and OJSC Rostelecom, data were obtained indicating the embezzlement of part of these funds by deception or breach of trust. "

Thus, by creating schemes from numerous intermediary firms by almost 270 million rubles. the cost of software and hardware acquired by the Ministry of Communications through Rostelecom under the state contract was overestimated, the Prosecutor General's Office said.

"The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications paid 653 million rubles for the purchased equipment, with its actual cost of 383 million rubles," the investigators say.

At the same time, it was established that one of the main equipment suppliers carried out dubious operations related to the transfer of funds in the amount of 150 million rubles. to the accounts of an offshore company. At the same time, the General Prosecutor's Office discovered the presence of a conflict of interest among persons who worked at Rostelecom and in the commercial structure that purchased equipment within the framework of the Electronic Russia federal target program.

Also, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications transferred 10 million rubles. to Rostelecom for the implementation of research work on the topic: "Conducting an examination of the implementation of the state program for creating technology parks in the Russian Federation in the field of high technologies," which in fact were not carried out by the company. The report on their implementation consists entirely of materials previously prepared by the Ministry of Communications as part of the implementation of the functions assigned to it, the Prosecutor General's Office adds.

In this regard, the Prosecutor General's Office sent the inspection materials to the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to resolve the issue of initiating a criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud committed on an especially large scale).

  • On August 31, 2011, Deputy Minister of Communications and Mass Media Ilya Massukh commented on the results of the audit by the Prosecutor General's Office of the implementation of the Electronic Russia program. The audit was carried out for the period 2009-10. in connection with the expiration of the program, the deputy minister said. But the statement of the prosecutor's office is surprising in the Ministry of Communications, since the materials for the check were provided to the supervisory authority only five days ago.

The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications does not know which supplier and which heads of Rostelecom are in question, since they have not seen the inspection materials. If violations are discovered, the ministry is ready to cooperate with the Prosecutor General's Office, Massukh stressed, adding that "we live in a legal state and only the court can make a decision on guilt."

Rostelecom also expressed disagreement with the conclusions of the Prosecutor General's Office. In its statement, the company claims that all purchases are carried out during tenders, suppliers are certified distributors of the world's largest vendors, and the prices of government contracts are agreed with the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economy.

The supplier to which the Prosecutor General's Office drew attention is NVision Group, a source close to one of the audited organizations of the Ministry of[23] told CNews[23]. The contract in question is the procurement of IBM equipment, he adds.

"It is not clear where the Prosecutor General's Office got the figure of 270 million rubles," says the source of CNews. - Even the difference between the price of the state contract concluded by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications with Rostelecom and the cost of equipment purchased for its sale is less - 130 million rubles. This despite the fact that this difference includes not only Rostelecom's margin, but also the cost of commissioning. "

"Perhaps, by the market value of the equipment, the Prosecutor General's Office understands the price of components without taking into account delivery and assembly," the CNews source continues.

As its own version, the interlocutor of CNews suggested that under offshore the Prosecutor General's Office could mean the structure of foreign developers of technology: "Maybe these are companies from Southeast Asia that supply equipment?" NVision does not comment on the situation, since they have not seen the inspection materials.

  • On December 5, 2011, it became known that the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia was carrying out the necessary set of measures to verify the information contained in the material received from the Prosecutor General's Office on the fact of embezzlement of budget funds as part of the implementation of the target program "Electronic Russia (2002-2010)"[24]

Among other things, during the audit, the Prosecutor General's Office suspected that Rostelecom purchased IBM equipment through the system integrator NVision Group to fulfill the contract with the Ministry of Communications, overestimating its cost by 270 million rubles. At the same time, schemes from "numerous intermediary firms" were used.

Rostelecom explained the difference between the money received from the Ministry of Communications and the cost of equipment by the need to pay for additional work related to commissioning, as well as the cost of software licenses.

"Having considered all the available documents, the investigation concluded that the information contained in the materials of the audit of the General Prosecutor's Office is not enough for the qualification of the studied acts of unidentified persons and the initiation of a criminal case," the Ministry of Internal Affairs notes. "So, in particular, there are no results of the study of financial documentation, there are no data on the conduct of audit inspections, no surveys of officials have been conducted."

The Investigative Committee conducts additional inspections, collection of materials and operational-search activities together with specialists from the Main Directorate for Combating Economic Crime and Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"The Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia is extremely objective about all incoming materials and is strictly guided in its activities by the norms of the criminal law legislation of the Russian Federation," the Ministry of Internal Affairs said in a statement. - To check the actions of officials of the Ministry of Communications of Russia and Rostelecom, it is planned to conduct a number of additional inspections of the financial and economic activities of Rostelecom (which are absent in the materials received from the Prosecutor General's Office), to receive explanations from a number of employees of the Ministry of Communications and Rostelecom, etc.

"If there is a criminal component in the actions of officials, the investigation will make a final decision regarding the criminal prosecution of the perpetrators," the investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs concludes.

2008-2010

  • 2008-2010 in the activities of the Ministry of Communications (2008-2010) show that it feels more confident in managing issues in the field of mass communications than communications issues.

This is evidenced by the successful approval of the federal target program "Development of Broadcasting in the Russian Federation for 2009-2015" prepared by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications with a total funding of 122.445 billion rubles, and the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications has been appointed chief curator of the program.

Another success is the government's decision giving the Ministry of Communications the authority to agree on informatization programs for government agencies and control over their implementation. In fact, this makes the Ministry of Communications a key link in the implementation of extensive programs related to the formation of e-government, including the creation of a system for providing public services in electronic form.

In addition, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications put forward and implemented the idea of ​ ​ creating a.rf domain zone, and also convinced the country's leadership of the advisability to participate in the international Internet governance system at the level of the advisory body of the organization ICANN.Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, an Internet corporation for managing domain names and numerical addresses

But in the sphere of communication, the ministry did not succeed at all. Contests for the creation of new communication satellites were delayed, which threatened to disrupt the timing of the renewal of the satellite constellation. There was a threat of illegitimacy of all communication networks from January 1, 2010 in general - due to the unavailability of the regulatory framework for registration of networks. Until now, attempts to create a regulatory framework for justifying a new architecture of communication networks based on the IP protocol have not been successful. And the adopted regulatory documents on the work of virtual mobile operators (MVNO) and the transition to a new format of codes for choosing long-distance and international operators do not work with full efficiency for various organizational and technological reasons.

  • In May 2010, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signed Decree No. 365, according to which documents related to the informatization of government agencies will undergo an expert assessment of the Ministry of Communications. The Ministry of Finance will have to take it into account when allocating money for ICT projects (for more details, see a separate article).

In addition, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications flocks plans for the informatization of government agencies. In fact, the prime minister endowed the communications department with additional leverage to influence financial flows coming from the ICT budget in government agencies.
