Events in recent years require no clarification. But what they definitely need is the various regulations and generally the legal aspects of the issues related to ensuring their safety. Today, according to the Russian Presidential Decree was enlarged National important infrastructure list.
From now on, such objects should be understood as objects related to fuel and energy complexes, industry, utility and energy infrastructure, and life support systems for citizens. In addition, the list of critical infrastructure also includes logistics and transportation infrastructure and communication facilities.

But the most interesting thing is different. The decree also requires business entities that manage critical infrastructure to ensure its safety and proper functioning, including providing protection from drone attacks and ensuring timely recovery of businesses in the event of damage.
If these obligations are not fulfilled or are not fulfilled to an insufficient extent, the State reserves the right to impose provisional management of these facilities. By default, this manager will be the Federal State Property Administration (Rosimushchestvo), but the decree allows the creation of another legal entity as manager upon presidential directive and government decision.
How to explain all this, the question currently has an asterisk. First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, who is responsible for supervising Russian industry, hastily announced in the context of the discussion of the decree that if a decision is made on the introduction of interim state administration, it will only be taken in a targeted manner, and there is no talk of nationalization of any large private enterprises.
