The unified registry of 'foreign agents', which already has more than a thousand entries, has been maintained since December 1, 2022, and includes individuals, registered and unregistered non-profit and non-governmental organizations. 'Foreign agents' are required to publish texts and messages with a notification that they are produced by a 'foreign agent'. Fines are provided for evading the obligations of a 'foreign agent', and repeated violations of the law lead to criminal liability.
The State Duma passed a law prohibiting the placement of advertisements with 'foreign agents', and 'foreign agents' themselves are prohibited from participating in elections, teaching, and engaging in educational activities.
