ussia's Interior Ministry has posted a tender seeking parties willing to “study the possibility of obtaining technical information about users (user equipment) TOR anonymous network".
The tender appears to be open only to organisations rated to do secret work for the Russian government, but concluding that means the project has political aims may not be sensible.
 The local Pirate Party told Global Voices they think the project's origin in the Interior Ministry, rather than a military or intelligence agency, is a sign that pornography is the tender's real target

Russia is looking for hackers to help take down the anonymity of the Tor network.
In a posting to Russia government's procurement portal earlier this month, the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) offered a 3.9 million rubles (roughly $109,000 USD) reward for research on methods for identifying Tor users.
Originally posted July 11, the posting was updated July 25 to remove specific information about what the offer is about. The competition is only open only to Russian citizens and requires an application fee of 195,000 rubles (roughly $5,500 USD). Proposals are due August 13, and the proposals will be assessed August 20.
