Roskomnadzor named the working conditions of foreign IT companies when they want to return to the Russian Federation.

"To work in Russia, foreign IT companies must strictly comply with the requirements of Russian legislation," the agency's press service told Izvestia.

It is noted that these are the requirements of the laws "On the activities of foreign persons in the Internet information and telecommunications network in the territory of the Russian Federation", "On Information, information Technologies and Information Protection", "On personal Data" and "On Communications".

It is these documents that establish the requirements for foreign IT companies, explained Yaroslav Shitsle, head of the IT&IP Dispute Resolution department at the Rustam Kurmaev and Partners law Firm. The key ones are to open authorized representative offices in Russia, post a feedback form for Russian users on the official website, register a personal account on the Roskomnadzor website and install a traffic counter on your website.

In addition, according to the expert, it is necessary to organize the storage of databases, as well as fulfill the requirements for the removal of illegal content. Schitzle added that these conditions apply to companies with an audience of over 500,000 users.

State Duma deputy Anton Nemki also stressed that legislative measures are aimed at protecting digital sovereignty, increasing transparency in the work of foreign companies and ensuring the security of Russian users' data.

At the same time, the question of the possible return of foreign IT giants remains open, since none of them has yet expressed such a desire, even despite the warming of political relations between Russia and the United States.
