During the elections in Russia, a huge number of cyber attacks were committed on the CEC servers, about 50% of which came from the United States, said Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, in an interview with RT.
“During these three-day elections, a huge number of attacks were made on the servers of the Central Election Commission. According to the Department of Digital Development, approximately 50% of these attacks originated from the United States of America. Well, isn’t this a reason to start dismantling? ”- said Medvedev.
In addition, the deputy head of the Security Council noted that “digital giants are fed up with everyone, including the United States.”
“It seems to me that digital giants in this sense are fed up with everyone, including the United States. After all, the activities of all these digital giants are often subject only to their corporate rules. So they made them for themselves and according to these rules make their decisions: someone is pardoned, someone is executed, ”Medvedev said.
As an example of such actions, he named the blocking of social networks of former US President Donald Trump. Twitter forever blocked Trump in early 2021 after his supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6 and suspended a meeting to confirm Joe Biden as president of the United States. As a result of the skirmish, 5 people were killed. The management of the social network believed that it was Trump who called citizens to violence in his publications. Along with Twitter, the former American leader’s account has been blocked by Facebook. The ex-head of state’s YouTube channel received a warning.
The elections in Russia were held from September 17 to 19. On September 24, the Central Election Commission of Russia approved the results of the elections to the State Duma. As a result, United Russia received 324 mandates, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation – 57, A Just Russia – 27, the Liberal Democratic Party – 21, and New People – 13 mandates. One by one – Rodina, Civil Platform, and the Growth Party. Self-nominated candidates also received five mandates.
