DescriptionIn an official report on the state of the book market, the Ministry openly criticized the practice of total seizure of books where foreign agents acted only as illustrators, translators or authors of prefaces. The Ministry emphasized that this destroys a significant layer of cultural heritage that does not carry destructive content. Against the backdrop of this statement, the agencies have launched interdepartmental consultations to relax the rules on labeling and seizure of such publications. The bet is on whether the Ministry and the Ministry of Justice will approve official changes separating the status of the author of the work and the technical creator of the book (translator/illustrator) before the end of summer.
ConditionsYes: if, before August 31, 2026, inclusive, the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Digital Affairs officially publishes a regulation, order, or amendment to legislation that removes books featuring foreign agent translators and illustrators from general restrictions and exemptions.No: if no official documents on relaxing the rules for such books are published before August 31, 2026, and the current order of exemptions remains in place.
