In turn, the head of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, Nikolai Nikiforov, said that the sanctions only strengthen the confidence of Russian developers that they are in demand.
“Already thanks to the first attempts at sanctions, our IT industry received an internal order worth billions of rubles, and not only from government customers,” Nikiforov said.
According to him, there are no giant companies like Microsoft in the domestic market yet, but there is a basic set of software, and there are already about four thousand such products in the registry.
