Special attention was attached to providing the cyberspace with a single legal mechanism, since its absence severely hampers international cooperation and generates a friendly environment for cyber terrorism and spread of illegal content.
RIAC is doing a lot to research the issues related to the Internet use by states and has published Working Paper “Russia and the Challenges of the Digital Environment” followed by series of interviews on Internet technologies, one of them with Ilya Anikin, Director General of IQ One, which may be found at link.
