Lipov Andrey Yuryievich

He is a Head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technologies, and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor). Roskomnadzor is the Russian state agency responsible for Internet and media censorship, monitoring citizens online, and implementing centralized blocking of uncensored information. He oversees a state body that supports or implements actions and policies that undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of Ukraine. Andrey Lipov is a former member of the Presidential Administration, where he worked under Sergey Kiriyenko. He is the author of the ""Sovereign Internet"" law, which required telecommunications operators to install technical countermeasures (TSPU) on their networks. This law has enabled Roskomnadzor to block websites directly and centrally. Since the start of Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, this has allowed for military censorship, blocking access to over 5,000 websites for Russian users. Andrey Lipov systematically violates anti-corruption laws by concealing facts of illegal enrichment. His corrupt assets are nominally owned by members of his family.
