In November 2005, Russia came out with controversial draft legislation providing strict measures to control NGOs through a registration body at the Ministry of Justice. The draft called for the imposition of tighter registration requirements for NGOs, notification procedures for informal groups, strict monitoring of organizations, banning of subsidiaries of international NGOs, and limitations on the participation of foreigners and stateless persons in NGOs. 

After vocal criticism from the civil society sector and foreign governments, some controversial measures, such as the banning of subsidiaries of international NGOs and the required notification for informal groups were dropped. Nonetheless, the final adopted piece of legislation remains problematic, granting wide discretionary powers to public officials implementing the law to investigate NGOs, to terminate their activities and with a nearly unlimited array of justifications to close them down.
