How to work by order of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia dated July 4, 2018 N 335?

Question

Law in IT

Today I read about the order of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of Russia dated July 4, 2018 N 335. I think it will affect everyone, at least state employees. Selected quotes:

Clause 1: Approve methodological recommendations for the transition of executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local self-government bodies of municipalities of the Russian Federation to the use of domestic office software, including previously purchased office software.

clause 10: foreign office software and (or) office software, information about which is not included in the unified register of Russian software previously installed and used by state bodies or local governments as a result of acquiring the right (or extending the validity of the right) to use such software, regardless of the type of contract and (or) agreement on a tangible medium and (or) in electronic form through communication channels in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and (or) pre-installed by the software manufacturer and (or) equipment manufacturer and (or) other organization on personal electronic computers <...>

paragraph 31: In order to ensure an integrated approach to ensure the transition to the use of domestic office software:
state bodies are recommended to organize work in their subordinate organizations to switch to the use of domestic office software in the period up to 2020 inclusive, including through approval by subordinate state bodies organizations of relevant action plans (schedules) for the transition to the use of domestic office software

clause 11: If you plan to use free software when switching to domestic office software, it is recommended to use free software, information about which is included in the unified register of Russian programs for electronic computers and databases, and meets the Additional Requirements.

Actually, the order itself: www.consultant.ru/cons/cgi/online.cgi?req=doc&base...
Several questions arose:

1. If we buy a laptop with a pre-installed Windows OS, we must immediately demolish it and install the OS from the registry https://reestr.minsvyaz.ru/reestr/ ?
   
2. Do I need to demolish all already installed licensed Windows operating systems with accompanying free software (AIMP, PotPlayer, Skype, all browsers a-la chrome, Firefox, Opera) and install Alt Linux, ROSA, Calculate Linux, Astra Linux, etc.?
   
3. What does implementation mean? Demolish licensed MS Office and install, for example, MyOffice? LibreOffice is free software, but is missing from the registry. How to be?
   

To sum it up, if I installed Ubuntu with Libre Office, VLC, Audacity and all the other programs included with it, would I be violating this order? VirtualBox is also not included in the registry. Can I bet or not? Or is everything so deplorable that a step left and right is execution? But what about specific software that runs exclusively under Windows? After all, there is a government decree 1236, according to which you can write an act on the impossibility of complying with the ban and buy it.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Answer 1

Wow, Vasily Odintsov , thanks for the link! Somehow I missed such an interesting thing. I read carefully.
What I want to say (IMHO, of course, especially, but usually I'm not mistaken)
You should not be deceived by the recommendatory nature of this document. Everything is grown-up there - appoint a responsible person (from whom you can ask), draw up a schedule number one, schedule number two, put it all on the site, control execution and all that.
Therefore, it is necessary to think about how this schedule will be implemented now, and you, if you are related to those offices about which this document is related, have absolutely rightly thought about it.
I think yes. Clause 8 of the Order expresses this quite clearly. Also, clause 10, paragraph 2. I also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Decree No. 325 of March 23 , 2017 , where the software requirements are described in some detail. (if you haven't read it yet)
I think we should. p. 10, paragraph 1 - about this:
I don't think you can say for sure. I think we need to start from what this order works against . And this order works against the presence in state structures of:
- foreign software with a closed code that does not know what (I don’t need it for auditing the code in the FSB - any update that is now non- switchable - breaks this certification nafig) - first of all
- foreign software with open source, which at least formally has not been registered by the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications. This point seems more formal to me - try to listen to the source code of Libra: D but it is there. It seems to me that there will be a "Windows is not Windows" approach - it is unlikely that there will be such cool experts that they will distinguish bubunta from Calculate :)
About specific software. This, oddly enough, depends on the political situation :)) That is, you can write an act and you can buy it and you can deliver it. But depending on this very situation and on what kind of organization they will either be treated indifferently or they can blow it at the very least, do not indulge in a detailed analysis of the reasons indicated in the act.
Once again - this is my purely IMHO. But practice has shown that I am not mistaken ...
