The Ministry of Digital Development does not expect problems with the employment of IT specialists who worked in the foreign companies leaving the Russian market. The department’s experts believe that the demand for such employees among Russian companies is quite high.

According to Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Maxim Parshin, the ministry will support the demand for Russian IT solutions and provide support for Russia’s leading developers.

The president of InfoWatch Natalya Kasperskaya believes that a decrease in the shortage of IT personnel should be expected in Russia. According to her, “the shortage was caused by the fact that over the past three years we have had a very powerful digitalization […] jobs for highly-demanded specialists will be found […] therefore, I believe that it is wrong to expect an increase in the deficit of specialists”.

Earlier, Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the new support measures for Russian IT companies.
