Abstract
The decision of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in the case Google Spain (2014) has provoked continuous debates about the existence and the content of the so-called ‘the right to be forgotten’. Many recent works contain different approaches to the idea and the rationale of such a legal concept in the framework of already existing and more well-known privacy rights as ‘right to oblivion’, ‘right to erasure’, etc. Nonetheless, the idea quickly has captured the minds of scholars and practitioners over the world. Russia has also followed the European initiative and adopted in 2015 similar provisions with entry into force on 1 January 2016. The paper seeks to evaluate probable consequences and risks for information society, access to information and principle of transparency in Russia. The inappropriate use of the right may affect seriously freedom of information and hide potentially crucial information from the general public.
