ST. PETERSBURG, June 5. /TASS/. Russia’s law on foreign agents is way more lenient than its US counterpart, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with heads of world news agencies on Friday.
During the event, organized by TASS on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Putin said Russia was not the first country to introduce this type of legislation. It was invented by the United States many years ago, during the previous century. There is nothing original about our actions, the president continued. Our law on foreign agents is way more lenient than in the US, if you compare the texts of both laws.
