Presidential Website Breaches the Law

30% of Russian federal governmental sites do not comply with a new law (effective from 1 January) on access to information. According to the law, each governmental body must have an official website announcing its activities, and must own the domain name. However, many governmental site domains are owned by different entities or even private persons. For example, the Russian President's website domain, kremlin.ru, is registered in the name of the Special Communications and Information Service of the Federal Security Service, rather than in the name of the President or Presidential Administration.
