The anonymous network hides the user's location and identity, let them through computers on the network to upload a lot of data, and the program is encrypted.

Russia's Interior Ministry made this reward decision and said it was to 'ensure the country's defense and security.' This award rule only applies to the Russian people; the program submission deadline is August 13. Applicants need to pay 19.5 million rubles (about 34,000 yuan), to participate in competitions.

After the incident Snowdon, Russian Tor anonymity network into the spotlight, Snowden revealed documents show that the U.S. National Security Agency and British intelligence agencies are trying to break the anonymity network.

OUR POINT
It would be nice to see if someone can actually  crack this private anonymizer service. Tor has its power and well -known as one of the best places to hide your identity online.  Russian may want to test this network to prove how risky this can be to use it. Maybe, after that,  they going to offer their own solution, which will be based on the Russian soil.  How you think, can this system be compromised?
