The Ministry of Internal Affairs proposes that the Ministry of Industry and Trade give targeted orders to Russian enterprises for the supply of domestic software and equipment based on applications from ministries and departments. This idea was put forward by the head of the Department of Information Technology, Communications and Information Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yuri Voynov. According to him, this will speed up the import substitution processes of government agencies.

"We don't need to be given money for purchases, give money to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, it should draw up a real plan for state purchases for three content writing service years for all security agencies, at least. We should give them an application, and they should form a pool of purchases for suppliers," said Yuri Voynov.

Artem Sheikin supported the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the senator, if each ministry were to come to suppliers and communicate about its plans and orders, "then there would not be enough time."



The Ministry of Internal Affairs has successful experience in implementing domestic IT solutions. For example, the project of the service of automated recording of violations in the field of road traffic based on the Russian program "Web". But before the project started working, it was necessary to seat software developers and server suppliers at the same table, to solve compatibility problems, and this is also not the core activity for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, complained Yuri Voynov.

Yuri Voynov, Ministry of Internal Affairs:

– Here we have switched not only to domestic solutions in terms of software, but also to the use of servers in which the Elbrus hardware platform is used based on Russian microelectronics. This is one of the most highly loaded projects operating on the basis of domestic microelectronics.

The security forces are ready to purchase passport printers from domestic developers. However, they are not yet manufactured in Russia. At the same time, due to sanctions, the ministry is unable to purchase this equipment abroad. The Ministry of Internal Affairs proposes to provide guarantees to Russian manufacturers. "As a government agency, we cannot say: here is the money in advance, and you give it to us in three years. But we are ready to clearly and with a guarantee say: if you provide us with printers that meet clear and understandable requirements, then we will actually buy them, and we are ready to order these volumes," noted Yuri Voynov.

Deputy General Director of the company "Bayterg" Konstantin Revin supported the theses of the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He, in turn, proposed to create a center for determining the needs of government agencies in electronic products and concluding contracts for delivery. "Today, we cannot afford to create products "for the drawer". We are not against competitions, but in these conditions we cannot predict the sale of our products," explained Konstantin Revin.

By the end of the year, it is planned to introduce new government regulations for state-owned companies, which will establish indicators for a complete transition to the use of domestic IT solutions to ensure the operation of critical information infrastructure facilities by 2024, said Ilya Massukh, Director of the Competence Center for Import Substitution in Information and Communication Technologies (CIT).

In the summer, the Russian government made a decision to create industrial competence centers for import substitution of digital solutions in key sectors of the economy (ICC), as well as competence centers for the development of Russian general system and application software (CKR).
