According to the document, data on smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices will be entered into the register, enabling their use within Russia to be monitored.<\/p>\n<p>The law, published on the Russian Federation\u2019s official legal information portal, stipulates that mobile network operators and certain state bodies will populate the database. Each IMEI will be linked to a specific subscriber\u2019s SIM card, making it more difficult to use mobile devices without registration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important; font-style: italic !important; color: #444444 !important; line-height: 1.6 !important; text-transform: none !important; border-left: 4px solid #888888 !important; padding-left: 18px !important; margin: 25px 0 !important; display: block !important;\">\u00abUnregistered devices may lose access to the mobile network after the system is launched,\u00bb Russian media report.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is the register being introduced?<\/h2>\n<p>Formally, the law forms part of the \u00abAnti-Fraud-2\u00bb package, which the Russian authorities are promoting as a tool to combat telephone fraud. However, experts point to the potential risks associated with the expansion of state control. The initiative, reportedly launched by the FSB, aims to secure additional powers for operational and investigative activities.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the new mechanism will make it more difficult to use smartphones imported into Russia through unofficial channels. The database itself is expected to become operational on 1 March 2027, whilst the actual deactivation of unregistered phones could begin as early as 2028.<\/p>\n<h2>Implications for users<\/h2>\n<p>The introduction of a national IMEI database means <strong>Tighter controls on the use of mobile devices in Russia<\/strong>. The new system will enable the authorities to identify users more effectively, monitor the use of devices and restrict the operation of unregistered smartphones. This has sparked debate regarding the balance between security, the fight against fraud and the right to privacy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0420\u0424 \u0412\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0434\u0438\u043c\u0438\u0440 \u041f\u0443\u0442\u0456\u043d \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u0432 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043d, \u044f\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0431\u0430\u0447\u0430\u0454 \u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0434\u0435\u0440\u0436\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0431\u0430\u0437\u0438 IMEI \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0432\u0441\u0456\u0445 \u043c\u043e\u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0457\u0432. \u0417\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043d \u043d\u0430\u0431\u0443\u0434\u0435 \u0447\u0438\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0456 1 \u0431\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437\u043d\u044f 2027 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443. \u041a\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043a\u043e \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0433\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0435 \u041f\u0443\u0442\u0456\u043d \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u0432 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043d \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0434\u0435\u0440\u0436\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0443 \u0431\u0430\u0437\u0443 IMEI \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043c\u043e\u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0457\u0432. \u0417\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043d \u043f\u043e\u0447\u043d\u0435 \u0434\u0456\u044f\u0442\u0438 \u0437 1 \u0431\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437\u043d\u044f 2027 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443. \u041d\u0435\u0437\u0430\u0440\u0435\u0454\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0456 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0457 \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0443\u0442\u044c \u0431\u0443\u0442\u0438 \u0432\u0456\u0434\u043a\u043b\u044e\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0456 \u0432\u0456\u0434 \u043c\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0456. \u0406\u043d\u0456\u0446\u0456\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0432\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u2019\u044f\u0437\u0430\u043d\u0430 \u0437 \u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0442\u044c\u0431\u043e\u044e [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":23188,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0420\u0424 \u0412\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0434\u0438\u043c\u0438\u0440 \u041f\u0443\u0442\u0456\u043d \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u0432 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043d \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0434\u0435\u0440\u0436\u0430\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0431\u0430\u0437\u0438 IMEI, \u0449\u043e \u0441\u0442\u043e\u0441\u0443\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0432\u0441\u0456\u0445 \u043c\u043e\u0431\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0457\u0432 \u0443 \u0420\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0457.","rank_math_title":"\u041f\u0443\u0442\u0456\u043d \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u0432 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043d \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0431\u0430\u0437\u0443 IMEI \u0432 \u0420\u043e\u0441\u0456\u0457","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u041f\u0443\u0442\u0456\u043d","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805619],"tags":[806752],"class_list":["post-23189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world","tag-806752"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23189"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23189\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23190,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23189\/revisions\/23190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
