The State Duma of Russia proposed giving military ranks to Russian hackers.

According to the information provided by APA's Moscow correspondent, MP Dmitri Gusev made such a proposal.

"Our programmers are the best in the world and everyone knows it.

Unfortunately, they go abroad, thinking that they will go to the army and serve with guns in their hands.

But their weapon is a computer," said the Russian deputy.

It should be noted that after the start of the war in Ukraine and the declaration of partial mobilization in the country, there has been an influx of highly qualified personnel working in the field of IT from Russia.
