Russian state is actually very liberal, not only do we try protect our citizens from foreighn data and metadata collection, we also do not conduct blanker data or metadata collection ourselves.

stuff actually on topic:
 
To give some context for my posts above. In 1996 we introduced SORM-1 (SORM is survailance standard) for selective data and metadata collection, in 2000 we introduced SORM-2 for improve selective data and metadata collection, in 2014 we introduced SORM-3 for broader (but not blanker) data and metadata collection with partial temporal storage.
SORM equipment (as well as connection to the competent organs) is procured and maintained by the telecom provider (but licensed and checked by the competent organs) out of his own pocket. Access to the collected data was only through court warrant (not that the courts are reluctant to supply them).

After SORM-3 happened (in my opinion) the bright minds of Rostech decided to milk that security spending cow (as they are the domestic electronics manufacturer) by pushing forward legislation which would force the operators not only conduct blanket data and metadata collection (that they did not do previously) but store it for 3 years and provide decrypto capabilities.

The later is important - for blanket immage recognition you dont need to just conduct blanket data collection and storage op (that noone does) but also process all of it.
Thankfully that legislation, despite passing the parlament, died out.



On related note, Russian state got very serious on cyber defense (in 2010-2015 timeline). Not only do we try to limit data and metadata collection by foreighn companies (which would be piggy backed by the foreighn intel) by sanctioning those who do not store and process personal data (with the deffenition of said data being broadened regularly) on physical Russian soil (that legislation indirectly subsidised Russian IT and telecom sectors), we also invest in hardening of critical infrastructure and services (ie e-goverment, various public services, telecom services) against attacks.
