JAKARTA - Not only the United States (US), it seems that Russia will also overthrow TikTok from its country. This can be seen from reports that say Russia will launch a short video creation platform similar to TikTok.
The application was nicknamed "Yes Molodets" which means "I'm Great". The service actually existed before and was developed by the Innopraktika Foundation.
Then the service was purchased by one of Russia's leading companies Gazprom Media. Gazprom Media CEO Alexander Zahrov said the foundation was run by one of Russian President Valdimir Putin's daughters, Katerina Tikhonova.
Zahrov added that the company will later use the software from the Ya Molodets service to accelerate the creation of a short video application aimed at Russian creators.
Reportedly, this application will be safely launched in the next two years and will support short videos similar to TikTok made by Bytedance, China.
"About a year to modernize and make it no worse than YouTube," said Zharov, quoted by Gizmochina, Friday, December 25.
It looks like this platform will successfully launch, given the track record of the country which has its own intranet, namely RuNet.
Gazprom Media is one of the largest media companies in Russia. Gazprom has a number of popular television channels and various radio stations.
News about the creation of this app has also emerged since the government tightened controls on the internet and platforms, such as YouTube, which offers independent news sources.
