The authorities of Russian Federation took seriously the questions of international information security.

The new structure also will inform the department’ leaders about how the oversees countries take the Internet question, including the freedom of its usage.

The Internet and the informational security questions became the most priority ones for the Moscow internal and external policies.

But now as it became known the foreign office will also include a special department for international and communication security issues under the department of a new threats and challenges”.

According to “Kommersant” the key aims of the new structure include the advancement of prepared concepts of the UNO convention for “international information security providing” and a made by the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation “Internet policy” act; defending of the Russian approaches to Internet governance management on the international arena (and first of all the recognition of this sphere includes principles of sovereignty and non-interference into the domestic affairs of a countries).

The USA State Department has such a bureau since 2011. The head of this bureau is the federal agent Christopher Painter who announced the cybercrimes as an “ imperative of the external policy”. Не and his colleagues are wary about Russian initiatives in this sphere and see them only as an approach to straighten the state control and Internet censorship.
