The tasks of ensuring the technological independence and digital sovereignty of the country come to the fore. The priority steps to achieve these goals were listed in presidential decree No. 250, and we consider it necessary to create a special working group as part of the RSPP Committee on the Digital Economy, which will develop this vector and provide opportunities to increase the digital security of key enterprises in Russia, "said RSPP President Alexander Shokhin.

Minimizing risks from cyber threats requires constant and continuous attention, coordinated actions of government agencies, developers and suppliers of information security solutions and their consumers. We expect that the RSPP working group will become the platform where each participant will be able to contribute to solving the common task of increasing the cyber resistance of the digital infrastructure and the state as a whole, "said Mikhail Oseevsky, Chairman of the RSPP Committee on the Digital Economy and President of Rostelecom.

The prerequisites for the creation of a working group within the framework of the RSPP Committee on the Digital Economy of the RSPP were a sharp increase in the confrontation in cyberspace in recent months, which affects the interests of Russian business, the security of critical information infrastructure and the state as a whole.

The cybersecurity industry has gained strategic importance. We protect about two-thirds of key government and commercial organizations that have been in the focus of hackers since early March. The number of attacks on the largest state and commercial organizations, as well as on critical infrastructure in Russia, has grown hundreds of times, including attacks through contractors and using open source software. A new level of threats requires strategic companies and players in the information security market to consolidate efforts to effectively counter cyber attacks. The profile working group will help develop comprehensive measures to overcome the existing restrictions and barriers and give a new impetus to the advanced development of our direction, - said Igor Lyapunov, General Director of RTK-Solar.

An important area will also be the development of software and hardware technologies of cybersecurity. The activities of the working group will be synchronized with the tasks and projects for the formation of cyber-resistant digital transformation, implemented within the framework of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation."

The cybersecurity industry requires accelerated development. The Ministry of Digital Development is already implementing a number of projects aimed at protecting state information systems, blocking phishing sites, combating telephone fraud and many others. These projects are the result of close interaction with representatives of the industry, a response to the request of citizens and businesses, and this dialogue will continue, including within the framework of the RSPP working group on cybersecurity, "said Vladimir Bengin, director of the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation cybersecurity department.

In addition, the RSPP working group will include issues of new approaches to the training of cybersecurity specialists, since personnel shortages remain a significant problem in the development of the industry.

The members of the working group will pay special attention to the possibilities of exporting cybersecurity technologies, as well as Russian expertise in countering systemic cyber attacks on the most significant enterprises in the country.

2017: Establishment of the Digital Economy Committee

The RSPP Committee on the Digital Economy was created in the structure of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) in November 2017. The Committee operates on a voluntary basis and is open to participate in its activities of persons interested in regulatory support for the digitalization of the economy and creating conditions for increasing the level of digitalization of the economy of the Russian Federation. The composition of the Committee is formed of heads (representatives) of organizations - members of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs and associate members of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.

1925: Additional Floor Add-On

In 1925, already under the Soviets, the two-story exchange building received an additional floor. The reconstruction was carried out according to the project of Ivan Sergeyevich Kuznetsov.

1875: Reconstruction of the building according to the project of A.S. Kaminsky - architect of the Tretyakov family

The merchants became cramped and decided to rebuild the old exchange. The new rebuilt building in the classical style was erected in 1873-1875 by A.S. Kaminsky, the home architect of the Tretyakov family. Muscovites were ironic that the temple of Mercury is built in the spirit of classicism, by analogy with the temple of Apollo.

The new exchange building was designed for 1,150 people. At the same time, the main entrance was often closed, and the exchange hall was entered through the secondary doors, which had a minister and checked tickets. The exchange hall occupied almost the entire space of the first floor. There was also a meeting room. The rest of the space was given to visitors to the exchange.

The building acquired a classic portico from Ilyinka and a two-story neo-Renaissance side facade along Rybny Lane. In the center of the triangular pediment, the god Mercury, the patron saint of trade, impressively hugs the goddess Fortune. Spacious, large-scale, double-walled halls surround Renaissance arches and openwork cast-iron balconies on thin elegant columns - this is the architect's favorite detail. In the first hall, balconies from below are divided by caissons, that is, square niches.

Two halls are connected by a wide glass partition - it was installed in the 1990s. Cast-iron floor lamps of the first hall are also a modern copy, but everything else has been preserved since 1875, including the floor made of Podolsk marble. Such interiors with open free spaces, arched arches, reinforced concrete structures were progressive for 19th-century architecture.

1870: Telegraph usage begins

At first, the question of creating a telegraph on the exchange was associated with the need for direct communication with the St. Petersburg exchange in 1870 . A little later, this famous invention of the century connected the exchange with the whole world. There were telegrams about bill rates and prices of funds, interest and dividend securities from all Russian cities where their quotes took place. Three times a day there were reports  from Berlin, from many stock markets in the world. Here they learned about every change in accounting interest  and about any outstanding phenomenon in the world money market, about new loans abroad, about dividends of large enterprises, bond issues, about the  state of accounts of the most important European banks. Information about the trade in  bread, sugar, cotton, and the trade in oil products flocked here.

A special attraction of the Moscow Exchange, its pride was the richest library of several thousand volumes.

1839: The Opening of the Exchange

In 1828, merchants appealed to the Governor-General of Moscow Dmitry Golitsyn with a request to establish an exchange in Moscow. And it opened, but after 11 years - November 8, 1839.

For construction, the Moscow merchants bought a plot on the corner of Ilyinka and Rybny Lane, on which the church of Dmitry Solunsky once stood, abolished in the 18th century.

The first exchange building worth half a million rubles (partially financed by Nicholas I) was built in 1836-1839   by the architect Mikhail Bykovsky in the style of early "Renaissance" eclecticism. Between the two arched entrances on the sides of the low building, Bykovsky placed a terrace with thin metal columns. Here, in the air, for a long time, stockbrokers gathered , who for some reason did not want to enter the main exchange floor.  An exchange committee is established and begins to work under the chairmanship of the mayor, nobleman and Moscow first-class merchant Valentin Kumanin.

The Moscow Exchange developed as a commodity exchange, and there were relatively few stock exchanges. However, witnesses to the exchange meetings of those years noted that it was the stockmen who arranged the "indecent" noise in the hall.  And those who had the opportunity to compare exchange meetings of Muscovites, say, with Parisians, noted that ours it was quiet and sedate. And  the number of quoted securities could not be compared with Western European stock exchanges.

The main exchange goods were raw cotton, cotton yarn, mitkal. Later, the list was supplemented by oil, coal and minerals. Of the financial assets on the exchange, only government bonds initially applied.

Since the 1870s, shares and bonds of private enterprises began to be included in quotation lists, but even in 1913, government securities remained the basis of the stock market.
