Description

Malvin Systems is a Russian company that develops SORM-compatible systems for surveillance purposes. SORM (System for Operative Investigative Activities) is an interception system used by Russian authorities to monitor telecommunications. Malvin Systems provides equipment that integrates with telecommunications infrastructure in order to collect and analyze data. Nokia provided telecommunications equipment and services to connect SORM to Russia's largest telecom networks, such as MTS, while Malvin Systems manufactured the SORM-compatible hardware used by the Russian intelligence agency, the FSB. Nokia announced in March 2022 that it would stop its sales and operations in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. However, the company left behind equipment and software that connected Russia's SORM surveillance system to major telecommunications networks.
