Since March 2020, Andrei Lipov became the head of Roskomnadzor. Have you noticed that the last year this department began to more actively climb into foreign policy? For example, only today Roskomnadzor threatened to block YouTube in Russia because of RT channels in Germany. This change in the behavior of Roskomnadzor occurred precisely under Lipov.
Prior to work in Roskomnadzor, Lipov worked in the presidential administration, I wrote “Medusa”: there he was responsible for the project to create a “sovereign Internet” and oversaw Roskomnadzor. For this, he was given the nickname “Runet’s switch”-anonymous telegram channels write and confirms to me the interlocutor from the Russian Academy of Sciences of Roskomnadzor.
Lipov, as I found out, has a conflict of interests, which may be the basis for his dismissal. The son of the current head of Roskomnadzor Dmitry Lipov works in Mail.ru The business development department is evidenced by the data of the internal directory available to the holding employees. The kinship of Dmitry and Andrei Lipovs was confirmed thanks to the merged databases: the registration address coincides in them in the linden.
“Roskomnadzor is a regulator, controls the use of personal data. AND Mail.ru This is a large service aggregator, one of the leading in Russia for the circulation of personal data. Of course, Roskomnadzor also enters the regulator for him. Obviously, the presence of the company’s head of Roskomnadzor, among the leading managers of the company, forms a personal interest in making decisions regarding the commercial company in which his son is employed by Lipov, ”Ilya Shumanov, General Director of Transpensers. He refers to the memo of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development, according to which, if a conflict of interests is not settled and if it is not applied to the government commission, there is liability until dismissal due to loss of trust.
To Mail.ru Lipov Younger worked in Rostelecom, data from databases. Even earlier – at the Central Research Institute of Economics, Informatics and Management Systems, Lipov’s classmate told me. Behind the complex name hides a subsidiary of Rostec. This company was a key contractor of the Ministry of Defense: unsuccessfully I tried Deprive the anonymity of users of the Tor network. Subsequently Caned off.
It turns out that earlier the younger linden also intersected to work with his father. Again a conflict of interests.
