Amendments to laws on immortalising the memory of victims of political repression

March 9, 2016

Vladimir Putin signed Federal Law On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation on Immortalising the Memory of Victims of Political Repression.

The amendments aim to ensure support from federal and local authorities for organisations’ and citizens’ efforts to immortalise the memory of victims of political repression, find and organise the upkeep of burial sites of victims of political repression, search for archival documents, and create and supplement museum expositions.

Under the federal law, non-commercial organisations engaged in efforts to immortalise the memory of victims of political repression can be considered socially oriented non-commercial organisations.
