Overview

• The Russian State Duma has approved legislation to label any foreign organization as 'undesirable.'
• The law previously targeted only foreign non-governmental organizations but now includes any foreign entity.
• Organizations founded or participated in by foreign government bodies are specifically targeted.
• The measure is part of a broader crackdown on entities perceived as threats to Russia.
• The list of 'undesirable' organizations has grown significantly since Russia's 2022 military actions in Ukraine.
