Law requiring media outlets to notify Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) when receiving money from foreign sources

December 30, 2015

The President signed Federal Law On Amending the Law of the Russian Federation On the Media and the Russian Federation Administrative Offences Code.

The Federal Law requires editorial staff of media outlets, broadcasters and publishers to notify Roskomnadzor quarterly about receiving money from foreign states, international organisations and foreign organisations acting as foreign agents of nongovernmental organisations, foreign citizens, stateless persons and Russian organisations whose participants and/or founders fall into the above categories.

The information submitted is subject to publication on Roskomnadzor’s official website.

The Russian Federation Administrative Offences Code is amended with a regulation stipulating liability by officials or legal entities for failure to submit or delays in submitting said information.
