A nationwide curfew for minors has been reimplemented in Russia from June 1 to August 31, restricting the movement of children and adolescents during nighttime hours. State Duma deputy Sergei Kolunov announced that the curfew prohibits individuals under 18 from being in public areas without parental supervision during late evening and nighttime.
The standard curfew is in effect from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. However, some regional authorities may extend the allowed time until 11:00 PM during the summer school break.
During curfew hours, unaccompanied minors are restricted from visiting public places such as streets, parks, stadiums, cinemas, and concert venues, as well as from using public transportation.
Parents or guardians found in violation of the curfew face fines ranging from 100 to 500 rubles for inadequate supervision of their children. If a child is apprehended during curfew, they will be taken to a police station, and a report will be filed against their parents or guardians.
Repeated violations could lead to a teenager being placed on a preventive record with the police. This designation can potentially create obstacles for future admission into military academies or law enforcement educational institutions.
Regional authorities have the discretion to establish varying age restrictions, such as up to 16 years old, and timeframes for the curfew, depending on local climatic and seasonal factors. These adjustments account for the varying times of sunset in different regions.
