| Title | Russian NGOs in time of Strained Foreign Relations |
| Summary | Russian NGOs have been subjected to a number of government measures designed to exert control over their activities, including the 2006 NGO and the 2012 Foreign Agents Laws. This paper provides an overview of the Russian civil society and its relationship with the state. It then details the ways in which the laws have limited NGOs’ ability to carry out their activities. By picking out government concern regarding overseas financing of NGOs as the main driver for the strict regulation of the sector, this paper argues that Russian foreign policy towards the West and vice versa plays an instrumental part in the way that civil society is managed and allowed to develop in Russia. By viewing Russian domestic regulation in the context of and as a manifestation of wider international relations, this paper recommends the normalization of the relations as an essential step towards the development of stronger civil society in Russia. |
