The law prevents members of "extremist" or "terrorist" organisations from standing in elections for a period of three to five years, depending on the person's position.Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a new law Friday banning individuals designated as "extremists" from running for public offices.
The new legislation comes ahead of a court decision on whether to designate both Navalny's political and anti-corruption organisations as extremist groups following a lawsuit filed in April by the Moscow Prosecutor's Office. Tatiana Stanovaya, political analyst of Carnegie Moscow and founder of R.Politik told CNN the law threatens not only opposition politicians but ordinary Russian citizens.
