The Russian Constitutional Court ruled Thursday that the restriction of foreign ownership of media is legal.
The court upheld a law restricting foreign ownership of media to twenty percent.
The case came to the court “after arbitration courts declared a dual Russian-Dutch citizen’s 49-percent stake in a radio station illegal.” The court stated that the reason for this ownership limit is “to prevent the strategic influence and control of the media” because this influence “may threaten the state’s information security.”
The court also ordered lawmakers to make certain portions of the bill clearer.
