The Russian app store for Android will be launched on May 9th. More than 700 companies are involved in the creation of NashStore

Vladimir Zykov, Project Director of ANO Digital Platforms, officially announced that the Russian NashStore app store for Android will appear in Russia, and it is planned to launch it on May 9, 2022.

In conditions when Russia found itself in the grip of severe pressure from Western companies, the task of public organizations and associations is to do everything so that Russian business and citizens have domestic alternatives. Unfortunately, Russians can no longer normally use Google Play to purchase and pay for applications, and developers have lost their source of income. This is the fact that we are facing today. Therefore, we created the Russian app store NashStore.

In NashStore, users will be able to download, install, update applications and pay for subscriptions. This store will allow citizens of the Russian Federation and the EAEU countries to use the usual services without restrictions. More than 700 companies cooperate with ANO “Digital Platforms” when creating an application store.

In a period of total manipulation of important social processes of Russian citizens, we see it as quite logical to dilute the dominant and monopoly position of our own operating system app stores, primarily Android. This practice has already been implemented with Huawei’s AppGallery. In Russia, there is already a necessary regulatory practice – pre-installation of applications on new smartphones and the ability to select applications from a list. This is a great alternative for the near future, and perhaps the only option, in the event that Google leaves Russia. Now we are forming an expert council and an expanded pool of mobile application developers for high-quality preparation of the registry.
