The rules for assigning compulsory work have changed in Russia

Federal Law No. 451-FZ of December 15, 2025 "On Amendments to Articles 3.13 and 32.13 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation" entered into force, which expanded the list of persons who are not subject to administrative punishment in the form of compulsory labor. This was reported to Izvestia on January 26 by the press service of the Federal Security Service of Russia.

According to the document, compulsory work is not assigned to women with disabled children, as well as to women who are adoptive parents, guardians or guardians of such children. In addition, men who are single parents and raise children under the age of three and/or children with disabilities, as well as men who are the sole adoptive parents, guardians or guardians of such children, are exempt from this type of punishment.

The law also provides for the possibility of exempting these categories of citizens from further serving already assigned compulsory labor. To do this, they have the right to apply to the court with an appropriate petition. A similar petition may be filed by a bailiff. If satisfied, the judge issues a decision to terminate the execution of the previously imposed punishment.

Compulsory work is the performance by a citizen who has committed an administrative offense of free socially useful work in his spare time from his main job, service or study. This type of punishment is imposed by a judge for a period of 20 to 200 hours and is executed by a bailiff in accordance with the procedure established by the Federal Law "On Enforcement Proceedings".

According to the Federal Migration Service of Russia, in 2025, there were 486.3 thousand enforcement proceedings on administrative punishment in the form of compulsory labor. Within the framework of 140.7 thousand such industries, citizens have already worked mandatory hours, carrying out work on landscaping and landscaping, as well as in the field of housing and communal services and consumer services.
