“We are talking about banning the placement of advertisements in the media for the resources of foreign agents, which could attract additional attention to them. In particular, it is unacceptable to place direct hyperlinks to such resources for advertising purposes,” he explained.
Earlier, the State Duma of Russia in the first reading adopted a bill prohibiting Russian citizens and companies from placing advertisements on the websites of foreign agents, on their social networks and on other Internet platforms.
Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin clarified that the ban applies to websites, blogs, and social networks. In addition, the bill prohibits advertising in the media of the resources of foreign agents themselves.
State Duma deputy from the LDPR Andrei Lugovoi proposed introducing annual reporting for foreign agents and their relatives on income and expenses, as well as on the availability of real estate and securities.
