Russia suspends scheduled inspections of companies hit by Ukrainian attacks
The Russian government has suspended scheduled state inspections of companies whose property was damaged in Ukrainian attacks until October 1, 2027. The measure reduces the administrative burden on businesses undergoing reconstruction while allowing emergency inspections.
Russian companies whose facilities were damaged in Ukrainian attacks will be exempt from scheduled state inspections until October 1, 2027. The temporary measure took effect on Monday.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko said the decision aims to support businesses rebuilding facilities targeted in the attacks and reduce their bureaucratic burden.
Emergency inspections will continue
The exemption covers routine inspections at companies undergoing reconstruction. Under normal circumstances, these businesses are subject to scheduled inspections by various government agencies in areas including fire safety, working conditions, consumer protection and tax compliance.
Emergency inspections, however, are not covered by the exemption. Companies may still be inspected if there is a decision by the executive authorities, a request from the prosecutor's office, national security concerns or risks to public health.
Debate over inspections of businesses
The decision comes as regulatory pressure on businesses is being debated in Russia. Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the practice of subjecting companies receiving emergency state support to strict inspections, calling the approach harmful and pointless.
The new measure follows a one-year tax deferral granted last month to Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries, and sellers on its platform.
State powers over companies have expanded
These administrative easements for companies are being implemented as the state's powers over businesses have expanded. In a decree signed in August, Putin authorized the government to seize companies and critical infrastructure if their owners failed to adequately protect their property against drone attacks or delayed repairs.
Over the weekend, the Russian government moved to use this authority to place one of Moscow's largest fuel station chains under temporary state control.
