Advice on advertising legislation
In 2006, the law on advertising came into force (Federal Law of March 13, 2006 No. 38). For the first time in the Russian Federation, vivid and advertising slogans began to be subject to control. Now, each manufacturer or seller of goods must answer for their words.
If the advertising slogan does not meet the requirements of the law, then the manufacturer or seller may be held liable. Art. 14.3 Administrative Code provides for the punishment in the form of an administrative fine up to 800 000 Rub.
