Impactful Policy Frameworks
Law on Personal Data Protection (Federal Law No. 152-FZ, 2006, with amendments including 2022 and 2023)
This law regulates the collection, storage, processing, and transfer of personal data in Russia, requiring data operators to ensure data security and obtain explicit consent.
It imposes stricter data handling requirements for PR agencies, impacting their data collection for targeted campaigns and influencer outreach.
Law on Advertising (Federal Law No. 38-FZ, 2006, with amendments including 2022 and 2023)
This law governs advertising practices in Russia, including content, placement, and disclosure requirements, with recent amendments focusing on internet advertising and marking.
PR campaigns must now adhere to stricter advertising disclosure rules, especially for online content and influencer marketing, potentially affecting creative freedom and requiring clear 'advertising' labels.
Foreign Agents Law (Federal Law No. 121-FZ, 2012, with numerous amendments including 2022 and 2023)
This law broadly defines and imposes restrictions on individuals and organizations receiving foreign support or engaged in activities deemed 'political', with recent expansions to include 'foreign influence'.
While primarily targeting political activities, its broad interpretation can indirectly affect PR agencies working with international clients, requiring careful navigation to avoid being labeled or associated with 'foreign agent' activities, potentially limiting certain types of international collaborations or public discourse engagement.
