In case people are not aware of it, Russian law now requires ALL encrypted
traffic must either be accessible by the FSB or that the private keys must
be available to the FSB. I have always assumed that GOST has a hidden
vulnerability/backdoor that the FSB is already using, but this makes it
mandatory. Putin gave the FSB 2 weeks to implement the law, which is
clearly impossible, but I suspect that there will be a huge effort to pick
all low-hanging fruit. As a result, I suspect no one outside of Russia will
touch GOST. (Not that they do now, either.) I'd hate to see its support
required for any protocol except in Russia as someone will be silly enough
to use it.
(It's not possible because it requires the 6 month storage of all Internet
data and voice communications which will require the immediate installation
of massive amounts of storage, not to mention the floor space, cooling, and
power to support those disks.)
