The federal law is aimed at improving legal regulation in state control over compliance with the laws of the Russian Federation on foreign agents.
Particularly, it allows for the requirement to submit information on foreign agent commercial activities to relevant authorities in an electronic form as per the procedure set by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation in coordination with the Bank of Russia.
Among other things, the law prohibits distribution of social advertising via a foreign agent’s website, page or accounts.
The federal law also clarifies the procedure for relevant authorities to consider inclusion of individuals in the registry of foreign agents and their exclusion from it.
