Law on the protection of the Russian language: new rules for business
1 марта 2026 г.

As of March 1, 2026, amendments strengthening the requirements for the use of the Russian language in the public sphere have come into force (Federal Law No. 168-FZ dated June 24, 2025).

The Alliance Legal Consulting Group team has prepared a brief overview covering: 

— where the Russian language is mandatory (signs, menus, information boards, websites, etc.);
— how to correctly provide duplicate wording/translations of foreign words and what exceptions apply;
— the risks and liability involved, as well as the steps businesses should take now.
