Roscosmos, the space agency of Russia, is working on a system intended to compete with the Starlink network.

Dmitri Bakanov, the new head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, announced that Russia is working on developing an alternative to Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite internet service that has revolutionized internet access in remote areas. Russia acknowledges that it needs to abandon the outdated mentality and attract talented young people to revitalize its space program. A Russian company, Bureau 1440, is developing a satellite system for broadband data delivery. This comes against the backdrop of previous difficulties in the Russian space program, including recent failures.
