16. Is there a limit on the amount a donor can contribute to a political party during an election?

'To fund campaigns, parties must set up an electoral fund from a mix of own resources and donations by individuals and organizations (capped at 490 000/24.5 million RUB (?8 000/ ?400 000 respectively).This fund may not exceed 400 million RUB(?6 million)for presidential elections and 700 million RUB(?11 million) for parliamentary elections. However, regional party branches may also set up their own electoral funds for parliamentary elections, giving a party a theoretical maximum of 3.38 billion RUB(?55 million) for the whole country.' (Source: European Parliament. 2015. Political Party Funding in Russia.)

Donations by individuals and organizations are capped at 490 000/24.5 million RUB. Total amount of donations cannot exceed 400 million RUB for presidential elections and 700 million RUB for parliamentary elections.
