Well here at the Duma, Russian MPs have approved two controversial new laws before breaking for the summit. The first one tightens state regulation of non-governmental organizations: receiving funding from abroad and engaged in political activities.

The second bill makes slander a criminal offense and punishable by heavy fine.
