⛔ Adoption bans still part of Russia’s foreign policy arsenal
Russian legislators have proposed a new bill that would ban citizens of “unfriendly countries” from adopting Russian orphans. The bill’s authors include Leonid Slutsky, leader of the right-wing Liberal Democratic Party of Russia; Nina Ostanina, the Communist Party deputy who leads the Duma’s Committee on Family Issues; and actor Dmitry Pevtsov, who represents the New People party.
Russia’s list of “unfriendly countries” was created in 2021 and currently contains 49 countries. In 2012, in response to the U.S. Magnitsky Act, Russia passed the “Dima Yakovlev law,” which prohibits U.S. citizens from adopting Russian orphans, among other things.
