- The legislation on "foreign agents" in Russia appeared back in 2012. The law allowed the Ministry of Justice to recognize non-profit organizations by “foreign agents” if they receive financing from abroad and are engaged in “political activities”. The criteria for which such activities are determined are not clearly defined in the law, which allows the authorities to persecute organizations working in the field of education, culture, healthcare, ecology, and the protection of human rights.
- The Russian Ministry of Justice led four lists of foreign agents at once, adding to them NPOs, journalists and public figures, who, according to the government, receive foreign financing and conduct political activities.
- In July, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the Law "On Monitoring the Activities of Persons under Foreign Infant." After the law entered into force on December 1, 2022, a single register of “foreign agents” according to unified rules will operate in Russia. The authorities will be able to include people and organizations even in the absence of foreign financing - it will be enough to discover “foreign influence” in their activities.
