Russia is now introducing a domestically self -developed app store, dubbed RuStore.
RuStore was developed by VK which provides Facebook -like services in Russia. The app store is available for Android users starting today.
Previously, Apple and Google have restricted access to their app stores in those countries - including blocking paid apps and so on. This also has an impact on the developers there who will now move to RuStore.
RuStore was also developed with support from technology giants in Russia such as Yandex and Kaspersky Lab.
Currently, there are around 100 apps available on the RuStore app store, including several government services.
