In a repeat of the restrictive anti-missionary laws adopted in dozens of Russia's regions between 1993 and 1997 and subsequently annulled, several regions have taken their cue from the 2001 law adopted in the southern Russian region of Belgorod and are now producing their own.
According to 20 May information on the regional parliament's website, the Kursk law was proposed by regional governor Aleksandr Mikhailov in the interests of "a unified national religious freedom policy in the face of an increase in the number of religious organisations, believers and the sphere of their activity in the region".
Viewed by Forum 18, the text of the Magadan draft turns out to be identical to that of the Belgorod law, with the exception of a provision ruling that missionary activity among northern native peoples "should not violate legal norms on the preservation of their culture, ethnic, linguistic and religious distinctiveness".
