The lecture on cybersecurity took place at the St. Petersburg regional election headquarters of Russian presidential candidate Vladimir Putin. As reported to RosBalt news agency at the headquarters, journalist and member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Alexander Malkevich spoke about the basic principles of safe use of the Internet and ways to protect citizens from digital threats, hoaxes and false information.
According to Malkevich, the topic of the lecture is extremely relevant in the modern world and absolutely every resident of our country should learn to distinguish truth from lies on the Internet. “We ourselves know how many older people suffer today from scammers, from cyberbandits. Therefore, one of the main goals of such lectures is to form a movement of cyber volunteers who will help novice Internet users and carry on the knowledge and skills of working correctly on the Internet,” the journalist noted.
He also added that an equally important goal of such lectures, which are planned to be held regularly, is to draw attention to the problems of cyber threats among the younger generation. Malkevich recalled that the Internet is a world in which there are rules, the observance of which, among other things, depends on personal safety.
It should be noted that Vladimir Putin’s election headquarters on Krasnogvardeyskaya Square in St. Petersburg has become a public space in which city residents can obtain information not only about the upcoming presidential elections in the Russian Federation, but also on other socially significant topics. In particular, a meeting was held at the headquarters with schoolchildren, at which they were told about the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine and the importance of the election of the head of state. Also, headquarters volunteers, together with representatives of the Yunarmiya, proxies and ordinary citizens, as part of the all-Russian campaign “#WEARETOGETHER,” designed New Year’s cards and wrote letters in support of SVO participants undergoing rehabilitation in hospitals. And already in the new year, United Russia volunteers held a master class on weaving camouflage nets for SVO participants. In addition, the headquarters hosted an exhibition and presentation “Transformation of school education is the key to Russia’s prosperity” and a lecture dedicated to the work of libraries in besieged Leningrad.
