Google blocks its services in the Russian Federation: Russians have lost mail and important documents

The official reason for blocking products is the distribution of spam from companies, but experts associate it with anti -Russian sanctions. Google, on the night of August 10, began closing for sub -companies from the Russian Federation products Workspace - mail, "Google Documents", "Google Drive" and others. About it writes the Russian media "merchant" with reference to its sources.

As a result, those companies that did not copy their working documents and business correspondence for other resources have lost important information. In addition, small and medium -sized businesses, which in the Russian Federation most often used in their work, have lost access to business mail. By the way, experts who talked with the journalists of the publication said that 30% of the Russian Federation continue to keep their document management on the services of an American company.

One of the anonymity media respondents said that Russian businesses were warned of a possible loss of business information contained on Google services. However, they did not want to switch to the Russian Yandex, continuing to use the usual service. The Director of Moyofys Eugene Fenyushin, with whom the media people also talked, confirmed that it was more convenient for businessmen to use US Google services than their domestic Yandex.

This has not even prevented the doctrine about import substitution, which has been adhered to in Russia lately in connection with rigid sanctions. For his part, another anonymous interlocutor of the publication stated that Google not only blocked Workspace for companies that came under sanctions, but also did it without warning. It should be noted that the official explanation of the blocking that Google provided is spam messages that allegedly came from Russian business companies.

We will remind, in early July "Roskomnadzor" declared its intention to break "Google" in Russia. The department stated that in the foreign segment of the Internet there are more than 10 services, which are constantly scanned and identified by Russian systems, and information is used by intruders for computer attacks on infrastructure.
