The official press release of the State Duma says literally the following:
The Federation Council very rarely rejects bills at its consideration stage. There is no reason to expect that the law will not be signed by the President.
By April 1, 2019, telecom operators should have completed field trials of technical measures to ensure and comply with the norms of the Runet’s sustainability law.
Now the authorities will be able to control the connection points of the Russian part of the Internet with the rest of the global network. It is possible to create the necessary infrastructure that will allow the Russian segment to function autonomously if access to foreign root DNS servers or other key network nodes is limited by something from the outside. Rosomnadzor will become the agency responsible for “coordinating the provision of sustainable, safe and holistic functioning” of the Internet.
On amendments to the Federal Law “On Communications” and the Federal Law “On Information, Information Technologies and the Protection of Information” (in terms of ensuring the safe and stable functioning of the Internet on the territory of the Russian Federation)

So, in the document signed by the President of the United States, the principle of “preserving peace by force” is declared, while Russia is directly and unsubstantially accused of committing hacker attacks, frankly it speaks of punishment, ”the authors indicate.
