Why do they want to create their own operating system for mobile devices from scratch in Russia?

As mentioned, the Russian mobile operating system will be built based on open-source Android. Polovnikov explained why this was necessary.

The reason is important and obvious – “Reducing the dependence of Russian users on the will of foreign companies.”

“Popular operating systems are controlled by companies in other countries, so it would be nice to have an alternative. In this case it would be possible to use this operating system. Here is the story, as with the app stores. Having created our own RuStore app store, smartphone owners can use their banking apps during the sanctions. This helped owners of Android phones, nothing can help iPhone users, ”said Sergey Polovnikov.
