Russian Experts: DeepSeek's Official Entry into the Russian Federation Will Benefit Everyone
Sulana Radnayeva, CEO of legal advisory firm Sinoruss, told Sputnik News Agency that DeepSeek's official entry into the Russian Federation will set an example for other Chinese companies, and both DeepSeek itself, Russian consumers, and the entire Chinese business community will benefit.
Sputnik News reported on April 18 that DeepSeek has registered its trademark in Russia, enabling it to now sell software, provide services for collecting information from computer databases, and offer training in Russia.
Radnayeva said this move by DeepSeek is logical and timely, reinforcing its position in a key market and promoting the development of Russia’s entire artificial intelligence industry. She pointed out that DeepSeek is already well-known in Russia—Mediascope data shows that in October 2025, its monthly audience accounted for 9.4% of Russia’s population, and it consistently ranked second in terms of traffic share in Russia (27.8%), trailing only ChatGPT.
Radnayeva believes: "This is a massive user base that can be monetized."
She added: "This is an ideal product for the Russian business community: DeepSeek’s model is open-source, powerful, and more affordable than similar offerings."
Radnayeva stated: "This sends a clear, long-term signal to the market, investors, and partners about the company’s significant commitment to developing in Russia."
She believes DeepSeek’s strong presence will inevitably foster competition within the Russian Federation, injecting strong momentum into the long-term development of AI solutions in Russia.
Radnayeva said: "DeepSeek demonstrates that the Russian market welcomes technology partners, where intellectual property can be successfully protected and business conducted according to international standards. Therefore, DeepSeek registering its trademark in Russia is a win-win event for all parties involved."
