Russian politician

Deputy Chair of the State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament) Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies, and Communications. As a legislator and public speaker, he advocates for tighter internet restrictions and for limiting the influence of foreign platforms within the Russian internet segment by deliberately throttling services that fail to comply with Russia’s repressive legislation. He also promotes the de-anonymization of users through the use of state-controlled resources. In the process of shaping state policy on control over the Russian internet segment, Andrey Svintsov probes public reaction to proposed new restrictions. This role allows the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation to develop and implement policies that are less likely to provoke significant public resistance. Andrey Svintsov’s activities are aimed at strengthening censorship and restricting Russian citizens’ access to information that is not subject to state control.
