Now, this is very good news indeed! As far as I know, Russia is the last of the BRICS countries to take that decision (yes, I did put an 's' at BRICS since South Africa has now joined this group). As far as I know, the first BRICS country to move to GNU/Linux was China which ordered all state organizations to make the move. Brazil did something similar, but I am not sure about the details. In the case of India, I remember that following a visit to India by Richard Stallman the Indian government also decided to favor a transition to GNU/Linux. South Africa, the birthplace of Ubuntu GNU/Linux, has been using GNU/Linux for a while now, though I am not sure to what degree. In the case of Russia, having a much more centralized regime than the rest of the BRICS with the exception of China, I expect that transition to be undertaken very fast. In fact, according to Putin's decree, it should be completed by 2015.
Fantastic news indeed!

I wonder if Stuxnet was the impetus for this move? If so, then maybe it was a blessing in disguise.
Even Goldman Sachs admit their creation BRIC is a fraud

@Jack: nonsense. BRIC and even BRICS is an objective reality, at least in its potential, which is what GS originally identified, and they were right. These countries have an objective economic and structural commonality.
@VINEYARDSAKER
Other than the fact that it was created by Goldman Sachs and since when do we trust them they control BRIC through their control of Brazil which economy I think about a 3rd dominated by British linked banking interests like Santander which are fast collapsing.

Same affiliated British banking interests which LaRouche rightfully predicted would happen in Greece, Ireland and Spain.
