Can anybody explain the difference to the Foreign Agents Registration Act in the USA and why one (America’s of course) is within Western democratic values and the other is not?

I think it’s a quite valuable information which countries are taking part in the opinion forming in my country and on who's side of the political spectrum in my country they’re acting on.

I just read a lot of articles about the Russian Law in Western media and not one mentions its similarities to the American law.

I know that Russia puts a lot of effort into supporting rightwing and leftwing organizations in the Western world. Although it’s disgusting I understand that it’s in their interest. They are definitely not the good ones and it’s our task to stop that influence.

I am sure that we are doing the same all over the world but nobody’s talking about except Russia. We are not the good ones, too.
