The Ministry of Digital Development suggests hiding data centers "under the ground" instead of moving abroad.
Russian data centers should be located on more secure sites, says the head of the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation, Maksot Shadayev.
"When choosing between two stories - moving abroad or going underground - of course, we want them to go underground and not move," the minister said at the CNews 2026 forum.
By the end of the year, the department plans to develop measures to support the construction of data centers in the regions, including preferential loans. The relevance of the issue rose after the October attacks on five data centers, including facilities of Sberbank, VK and Yandex.
