Russia now requires all smart devices – including phones, computers, and TVs – in the country to have Russian software preinstalled, in what some locals have called a “law against Apple.”
Cool, so they want to spy on their citizens rather than the Americans or Chinese.
You are too trusting and many people will regularly take advantage of you because you are a simple simon.
The Russians are weening off foreign-made microchips and ecosystems like Whatsapp that is USA, FB. Thinking they wont take advantage of it is naive, borderline retarded.
in context the reference is for Russian APPLICATIONS, like their office suite. this is in order to avoid having dependence on western software companies like Google or MS who could sanction/ban Russian usage at any time. the obvious risk to their corporate sector explains their strategy. the entire article is about this, and you'd know that if you could read. In practice what happens is when you go through the initial setup process on a phone sold in Russia it prompts if you want to install a few local applications instead of just forcing the defaults like happens in your globohomo-occupied country.
are the Russkies installing spyware? why would they need to, they control the internet infrastructure. just last month they again tested full isolation of the "ru.net" from the outside internet to ensure all critical stuff keeps functioning - they do this twice a year now.
you're way behind on the times, friend, and your 2006-leftist tier conspiracy theories about what is happening will not save you.

lol at thinking the Russian government is more benevolent than any other world government.
Did you know Russia pays off Chechen Islamic terrorists not to invade Russia and destabilise the area so they can lay down oil and gas pipes? All of this money could be spent on their failing infrastructure, education, roads and hospitals but instead, they spend it on Islamic terror cells because they are just such noble and honest people right? Possibly the only good guys on the planet, lolololololol.
Pull your head out of your ass, not having to be dependant on foreign communications isn't the sole reason they are licencing the corporate sector to come up with their own options.
Hey maybe they can use this new government owned tech to have transparent elections too, bahahahahha.
