Covid19 and the Digital Boom: the pandemic as an impetus for technology development
— Rostelecom research (05/24/2021)
“..The pandemic has become a severe test for the health care system, the economy and people, but at the same time — the cause of the digital boom. The development of technology has received the most powerful impetus in recent decades, especially in the field of digital health (e-health).
TeqViser— a software product of Rostelecom based on artificial intelligence, analyzed an array of publications in technology media and scientific journals, patent applications, as well as the activity of venture investors for 2020 in order to track and fix the main digital trends of the covid19 era.
In the history of mankind, epidemics have played not only a negative role and often became the cause of the most important discoveries in medicine and pharmaceuticals, as well as social and economic reforms..
..The coronavirus pandemic was no exception: in addition to the obvious breakthroughs in medicine, it led to an acceleration of digital transformation. Technologies have received a tremendous impetus for development.
Pavel Krasovsky, Deputy Director of the Rostelecom Center for Strategic Innovations, TeqViser Project [a software product based on AI] Manager:
“We have been closely following technological trends for the past five years and have been recording how certain technologies have been “firing” in different years. But 2020 was a special year for digital technologies: the pandemic gave a powerful acceleration to their development and implementation. The main thing that the pandemic has managed to do is to change people’s attitude to digital technologies and reduce resistance to introducing innovations into a seemingly already established life. Even the older generation has formed a habit of cashless payments and online purchases. Of course, after explosive growth, a temporary slowdown can be expected, but the digital boom of 2020 will definitely have long-term consequences that can be objectively assessed only a few years later.”

COVID is the best thing that has happened to technology in the last 10 years
"[...] In 2020, Russia for the first time entered the top 10 in terms of the number of patents related to the E-health trend.[...] China is in the first place by a huge margin, this is expected, since China has been the absolute world leader in the number of registered patents for several years), but Russia's fourth place in the ranking is pleasant and unexpected to see.
Russia has actively patented vaccines, antiviral drugs, methods of testing, diagnosis and rehabilitation, ahead of the combined efforts of Europe and Canada in the fight against coronavirus."

The Center of biometric technologies will appear in Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the establishment of a joint venture (JV) JSC "Center for Biometric Technologies" (CBT). The founders will be Rostelecom (49% of shares), the Russian Federation represented by the Federal Agency for State Property Management (26% of shares) and the Bank of Russia (25% of shares).
CBT will develop and replicate digital identification and authentication technologies (including those based on biometric personal data), as well as document signing and storage services, including the creation, development and operation of commercial services and standard solutions. This will increase the level of digitalization in various sectors of the economy.
The parties will combine efforts and expertise in the field of biometrics to accelerate the conversion of various services into digital form. CBT will become the operator of GIS "Unified Biometric System" and will ensure the collection, storage, processing and verification of biometric personal data, taking into account the requirements established by Federal Law No. 149-FZ of 27.07.2006 "On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection". Recall that since 2018, Rostelecom has been the operator of the system.
...
First Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia Olga Skorobogatova:
"The unified biometric system is one of the main elements of the country's digital infrastructure. The Bank of Russia supports the creation of a joint venture and believes that the concentration of resources, technologies and management in this new organization will ensure the introduction of secure biometric technologies in various spheres of our lives. This will make it easier for citizens to receive financial and non-financial services in digital form, it will allow businesses to innovate and reduce costs. The development of a Unified Biometric system will also contribute to the development of Russian technologies and increase their competitiveness."
...
A unified biometric system is a necessary part of the remote identification mechanism that allows citizens to receive services remotely. It was launched on the initiative of the Ministry of Finance of Russia, the Bank of Russia and Rostelecom as part of the implementation of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" on June 30, 2018. On December 30, 2021, the Unified Biometric System became state-owned."

Digital Ruble
The digital ruble is a digital form of the Russian national currency that the Bank of Russia plans to issue in addition to existing forms of money.
After a wide public discussion of the initiative to create a digital ruble, the Bank of Russia has prepared a concept that provides for the use of a two-tier retail model."
Taking into account these proposals, it was decided to implement the Digital Ruble project in the following stages:
• October 2020 – publication of the report for public consultations "Digital
ruble", prepared for the purpose of public discussion of the main aspects of the introduction
of the digital ruble.
• April 2021 – publication of the Concept of the digital ruble, which presents
the features of the implementation of the target model of the digital ruble.
• December 2021 – creation of a prototype of the digital ruble platform.
• January 2022 – development of draft amendments to the legislation of the Russian Federation.
• The first quarter of 2022 – the launch of testing a prototype of the digital ruble platform.
It is assumed that testing of the prototype of the digital ruble platform will be conducted jointly with financial market participants during 2022. Based on the test results, a roadmap for the implementation of the digital ruble target platform will be formed.
...
Stages of project implementation
December 2021 — creation of a prototype of the digital ruble platform.
2022 — testing of the prototype of the digital ruble platform and development of a roadmap for implementation, taking into account the test results.
2022 — development of legislation for the introduction of the digital ruble.

PSB proposed to expand the infrastructure of using a Single biometric system
The bank believes that this will increase the demand for services using biometric data
MOSCOW, November 11. /tass/. The PSB proposed to expand the infrastructure for using the Unified Biometric System (UBS), which will increase the demand for services using biometric data. This was announced by Yulia Mikhailovskaya, Vice President, Director of the Digital Retail Business Department of PSB at the Finopolis forum.
"The popularization of the EBS should take place not only on the part of banks, but also on the part of government departments. Such an incentive could be the wider use of biometrics in the provision of public services. It is important that citizens can use a biometric profile as an identifier when receiving public services - registering transactions, requesting documents and certificates, paying fines, as well as in medicine, education, when paying for transport," the expert noted.
According to Mikhailovskaya, customer authentication using self-assembled biometrics will help to increase public interest in using biometrics. This method can be used in low-risk transactions, for example, for making payments for small amounts. For customers who have submitted biometrics independently through the application, an additional opportunity should be provided to upgrade the status of biometric samples in the EBS with a single confirmation of identity at a bank branch. This approach guarantees the security of credit transactions by the client in the future, including mortgage transactions.
In addition, according to the estimates of the PSB, in order to popularize the service among citizens, it is also necessary to conduct educational work for schoolchildren, demonstrating the convenience of using the ESB in simpler and safer operations - for example, for going to school, when passing exams, paying for meals in the cafeteria for small amounts."
