Russia is ready to open source its social networks and applications, the Ministry of Digital Development says. "For many years we have been dealing with the reluctance of large Western corporations to comply with our legislative requirements. Therefore, we decided to build our infrastructure on sovereign solutions," says Shadive. He is sure that Western services are a "black box" that leads to "digital colonialism", to the dependence of countries on foreign corporations. In Russia, according to him, everything is open and transparent.
