June 2, 2016

Vladimir Putin signed Federal Law On Amendments to Article 8 of the Federal Law On Public Associations and Article 2 of the Federal Law On Non-Profit Organisations.

The Federal Law aims to provide a more detailed definition for the term “political activity” as applied to non-profit organisations that function as foreign agents. In particular, the Federal Law directly sets out the goals, forms and spheres of activity the totality of which allows defining an NPO as a political organisation.
