Drone / airspace
Drones must be registered with Rosaviatsiya and flights authorized; many regions impose outright bans
Flying is heavily restricted over Moscow, government, and military areas. For detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph, but Civil Code Art. 152.1 generally requires consent to publish an identifiable person's image
No consent needed when the person is incidental in a public place and not the main subject.
Freedom of panorama
Limited
Civil Code Art. 1276: architecture in public may be used commercially, but fine art and photographs permanently in public may not when the image is the main object or used for profit.
Practical notes
- Selling a photo of a public monument or sculpture as the main subject can infringe even though it stands in public.
- Do not photograph police, government buildings, military, or border facilities; strategic-site rules are broad and enforced.
