It's easy to predict that this will drive privatization in Russia. Things that can't be done efficiently under the byzantine government rulebook will be farmed out to private entities. Americans should be well familiar with the dynamic.

By the way, we see the same security paranoia cropping up in the West about the use of software of Russian origin. Some of the mockery here seems un-self-aware.

it's much easier to live without Russian software than to live without non-Russian software. I'm not criticizing their paranoia - the West can and will infiltrate their systems - but it's so much easier for America to blacklist Kaspersky Antivirus and 7-zip than for Russia to blacklist Windows, OS X, all major Linux distros (can they even use the Linux kernel at all?), Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OracleDB, Mysql, Photoshop, Autocad, Visual Studio (Code), Chrome, Firefox, etc. not to mention all the embedded controller firmware on all the devices they import.

Like, if they actually went so far as to require fully Russian source code for anything running on a government machine, they'd be starting back from the 70s. Good luck.

No, likely they'll farm out contracts to cronies who will slap their logo on pirated or open-source projects and sell it to the Russian government for a hefty markup.

The security problem here is software without support.
