In an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Bastykin also told on amendments prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to the law “On operational investigative activities.” Innovations will allow operational units within the framework of operational-search activities to gain access to a wide range of information transmitted via the Internet and contained in technological systems without a court decision.
