Will the State Duma pass a law repealing penalties for old posts?
Volume~$168
YES chance
DescriptionA bill limiting the possibility of punishment for past online posts was submitted to the government for review and introduced in the State Duma on May 8, 2026. Despite strong public support, the initiative may face resistance during coordination with law enforcement agencies. For the 25–35 age group, which has been actively using social media for more than 15 years, this law is critically important. The question is whether the bill will pass at least its first reading during the spring session of parliament (by the end of July 2026).
ConditionsYes: if, by July 31, 2026 (inclusive), the State Duma of the Russian Federation passes the bill (No. 199516 or a similar bill amending Article 4.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) in its first reading.
No: if, by July 31, 2026, the bill is NOT adopted in the first reading (it is rejected, returned to the authors, or remains under consideration in committee).
