In today's Russia, information technical solutions influence the way they do businesses and how they govern their state. The information age has created incredible possibilities concerning how societies use information. However, technical development seldom means only advantages; it also means challenges. This book examines how Russia faces these challenges. In particular, which threats against its information society the Russian governmental power considers valid, if the threats have changed over time, and if this discussion of threats is a prioritised question in Russia. The author also identifies which authorities that currently are working with these issues or have in the past, and whether Russia is participating in international cooperations in order to combat threats against its information society. Finally, the author examines how the Russian political elite view threats against its information society, and compares how that perception differs from to real, existing threats.
