Under the Federal Law, the government agencies, organisations of all forms of ownership and their officials, as well as private individuals regardless of citizenship or absence thereof, are obliged to adjust their activities to the restrictions connected with foreign agent status as set out in Article 11 of the Federal Law On Monitoring the Activities of Individuals under Foreign Influence. The activity (inactivity) of such persons must not contribute to the foreign agent’s infringement of the Russian Federation laws on foreign agents.

The Federal Law also stipulates that random inspections may be carried out if the activity (inactivity) of these persons contributes to the infringement by foreign agents of the Russian Federation laws on foreign agents.

In addition, the Federal Law establishes that a foreign agent is not entitled to financial or any other material assistance from the state, including for creative activity.
