Russia to Temporarily Manage Critical Infrastructure
Russia's first vice-premier Denis Manturov said a presidential decree allowing temporary state management of critical infrastructure will be applied selectively, not as mass nationalization, to ensure security and rapid recovery of facilities where owners fail to act.
Consensus
- The presidential decree on temporary management of critical infrastructure was signed on August 24.
- The mechanism applies when owners of critical infrastructure fail to ensure security or restore operations.
- Temporary state management is not nationalization and does not change ownership structure.
- The measure is intended to protect facilities from terrorist attacks and ensure rapid recovery.
- The government will apply the mechanism selectively, not on a mass scale.
- The decree provides a legal basis for state intervention in critical infrastructure management.
- Critical infrastructure includes energy, industrial, communication, and utility facilities.
- Private and state-owned enterprises are equally important to the economy and society.
Points of divergence
- The decree was issued in response to increasing security threats during the special military operation and in accordance with the laws 'On Military State', 'On Defense', and 'On Security'. — vm
