The Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Digital Development) is involved in shaping digital policy, including proposing legislation to require large transfers to be confirmed via the MAX messenger. It has publicly criticized Apple's removal of VK apps from the App Store as politically motivated, demanded justification for the action, and initiated negotiations with Apple to restore the MAX service. The ministry also supports regulatory initiatives targeting e-commerce platforms and collaborates on digital literacy projects.
