Post Soviet Russia period began in the the early 90's. This was a transition period for the country coming out of communism. Privacy is a big challenge for all nations large and small but for Russia during this period this was even a greater challenge. The country was very unstable during the early years with a wars and a poor economy. The people did not trust the government and many was were unemployed. The new government had to prove its self to the world.
We look at Privacy in the three areas Physical, Informational and Organizational
Physical Privacy - named Graphics, Videos, or access to someone's home or Vehicle. Moving from the communist era were the government was in charge of everything. People did not trust the government because of past practices.
Informational Privacy - Includes Financial ,Internet ,Medical ,sexual and political privacy.
Concerns exist wherever data relating to a personal data collected and stored. The fear of this information being used against a person or who should have access to this type of data. These types of fears in Russia and other nations outside of the country slowed business progress and hurt the economy. The trusting of the government and its people from the past of communism to time to get over.
Organizational Privacy- Government and large companies keep some of their activities secret for security and competition reasons. The Russian government doing this era has kept many of the past information classified. It also normal for thier companies to kept there trade secrets private.
Overall, privacy to the former Soviet union is proper use of Information of technology or between peoples Business. So the impact is that Privacy is needed and aloud in the Russia to defend of what's right and deal with other nations.
