In Russia, a revised law has come into effect that prohibits people and organizations designated as "foreign agents," meaning foreign spies, from posting advertisements. The revised law was signed by President Putin on the 11th and went into effect.

It will not only prevent the "agent" from earning advertising revenue, but also greatly restrict the dissemination of information about the " agent" through the media and the Internet. The Russian government has designated South Korea, along with Japan and other countries, as "unfriendly countries" due to sanctions against Russia.
