The State Duma Passed a Law on Advertising Labeling and Mandatory Contributions for Online Advertising Distribution
Advertising distributors and advertising system operators engaged in the dissemination of advertisements on the Internet will be required to make contributions amounting to 3% of the revenue generated from the provision of related services. The government will establish criteria for classifying information as advertising when distributed on certain online resources, as well as the specifics of calculating and paying these contributions. Exempt from mandatory contributions are, among others, website owners who broadcast television and/or radio channels, online media whose editorial offices or founders meet specific established criteria, and nationwide mandatory public television channels. Additionally, the bill clarifies requirements for the distribution of social advertising and introduces additional requirements for advertising related to consumer credit (loans) due to increasing household debt. These requirements include a mandatory warning: "Review all credit (loan) terms" with a reference to a webpage detailing credit terms. If no such webpage exists, the advertisement must include all conditions affecting the total cost of the credit (loan), along with the warning: "Assess your financial capabilities and risks." The government will define the criteria for classifying information as internet advertising. Roskomnadzor will oversee the collection of contributions, determining the amounts based on data provided by advertisers and distributors to the Unified System for Internet Advertising Accounting.

In Russia, a deportation regime for illegally residing foreigners comes into effect
On February 5, 2025, the Federal Law No. 260-FZ of August 8, 2024, "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation," comes into force. This law introduces changes to Federal Law No. 115-FZ of July 25, 2002, "On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation." These changes establish a new deportation regimefor foreign citizens and stateless persons who do not have the legal right to stay in Russia, as well as the introduction of a register of controlled persons. Key provisions of the deportation regime: Reduction of the permitted period of temporary stay for foreign citizens to 90 days per calendar year. Introduction of a deportation migration regime – restrictions on certain rights of illegally residing migrants and expanded control measures applied to them. Definition of rights and obligations of individuals subject to the deportation regime. Implementation of new control measures under the deportation regime. Imposition of specific restrictions on the rights and freedoms of foreign citizens. New powers granted to law enforcement officers in the application of the deportation regime. These measures aim to prevent illegal migration and reduce the risk of unlawful activities by foreigners in Russia.

A residential house will be checked for suitability for living before purchase using maternity capital
To purchase a house, part of a house, or a townhouse with maternity capital, a certificate confirming its suitability for living will be required. These changes to the law on family support were adopted by the State Duma on December 12. Federal Law No. 495-FZ of December 26, 2024, "On Amending Article 8 of the Federal Law 'On Additional Measures of State Support for Families with Children'" establishes that an application for the use of maternity capital funds may be denied if there is no conclusion confirming that the residential property, including a house or a townhouse, meets the requirements for residential premises and is suitable for living. These provisions do not apply to individuals who submitted applications to the Social Fund of Russia (SFR) before the law came into effect. The Federal Law comes into force on January 1, 2025. Maternity capital holders often use state support to purchase residential houses. However, in some cases, these houses turn out to be unfit for living, as noted in the explanatory note to the bill. The changes are intended to reduce the number of cases where certificate holders are deceived or where funds are illegally withdrawn through fraudulent schemes.
