Volume~$112
YES chance
DescriptionAnton Gorelkin, deputy chairman of the State Duma’s IT Committee, called on Russian developers to urgently migrate their projects to domestic alternatives, describing GitHub as a “subversive” service operated by Microsoft. According to him, the platform may soon completely stop allowing users from Russia. Against the backdrop of these warnings, expectations within the IT community have grown that regulatory authorities will impose strict measures. The question is whether Roskomnadzor will add the platform to the registry of banned websites, completely blocking access to it within the country.
ConditionsYes: if, on or before August 31, 2026, Roskomnadzor adds the github.com domain to the registry of permanently blocked resources, or officially announces measures to completely block the service in the Russian Federation.No: if, as of August 31, 2026, the GitHub platform continues to operate in Russia without an official decision by Roskomnadzor to impose a complete mandatory block.
