Recreational spearfishing (подводная охота) is legal in Russia and is treated as a method of recreational/amateur fishing (любительское рыболовство). On water bodies of common use citizens may fish freely and free of charge, without a license or permit. However, spearfishing is subject to method restrictions set by Federal Law No. 475-FZ of 25.12.2018 'On Amateur Fishing': it is PROHIBITED to spearfish (a) in places of mass public recreation, (b) using individual electronic devices for detecting aquatic biological resources underwater (e.g. fish-finders), (c) using scuba/aqualungs and other autonomous breathing apparatus, and (d) using spearfishing gear above the surface of the water. In addition, region-specific Fishing Rules (Правила рыболовства) for each of the 8 federal fishery basins impose closed seasons (e.g. underwater hunting banned on inland waters in the Azov-Black Sea basin from 15 November to 31 March), daily catch limits (e.g. 5 kg/day in the Azov-Black Sea basin), minimum legal sizes and protected-species lists. Sturgeon and Red Book species are fully protected. Foreigners may spearfish under the same general rules.

- ЗатвореноUnderwater hunting (подводная охота) on inland water bodies of the Azov-Black Sea fishery basinНов 15 – Мар 31
In the Azov-Black Sea fishery basin, underwater hunting (подводная охота) on inland water bodies (внутренние водные объекты) is prohibited from 15 November to 31 March. Established by the Fishing Rules for the Azov-Black Sea fishery basin (Order of the Ministry of Agriculture No. 1 of 09.01.2020). Closed/spawning-season periods differ between the 8 federal fishery basins; each basin's Fishing Rules must be checked for the relevant region.
- ОграниченоSpawning periods (нерестовый запрет) across fishery basins
Each of the 8 federal fishery basins sets its own spawning-season restrictions in its Fishing Rules. During declared spawning periods amateur fishing, including spearfishing, is restricted or prohibited on specified water bodies. Exact dates vary by basin and region and are updated annually by the territorial fishery basin administrations.

Ограничења
- Access restrictions apply in border zones (пограничная зона) and on lands of defence and security; a border-zone permit may be required to fish in those areas.
- Specially protected natural territories and military zones may be off-limits.
Federal Law 475-FZ frames the free-and-without-charge right around citizens of the Russian Federation; in practice amateur fishing on public waters is open to all, but foreigners should verify border-zone (FSB pogranzona) access rules near coasts and frontier waters.

- Places of mass public recreation (места массового отдыха граждан)public recreation area
Spearfishing is prohibited in designated mass public recreation areas (e.g. public bathing beaches) under Federal Law 475-FZ, Article 7, Part 1, Clause 4(a).
- Lands of defence and security; specially protected natural areasmilitary / protected natural area
Amateur fishing (and therefore spearfishing) may be prohibited or restricted on water bodies located on lands of defence and security and within specially protected natural territories, per Federal Law 475-FZ, Article 6.
- Aquaculture ponds, watered quarries and ponds used for commercial aquacultureaquaculture / private water body
Amateur fishing is prohibited on water bodies used for pond aquaculture and on certain ponds/watered quarries, per Federal Law 475-FZ, Article 6.
- Far Eastern Marine Reserve (Дальневосточный морской заповедник)marine reserve / no-take strict nature reserve (zapovednik)
Russia's first marine strict nature reserve (zapovednik), in Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan, south of Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai. Area ~64,316 ha (63,000 ha water). As a federal zapovednik it is the highest category of protected area where all resource extraction, including any fishing and therefore spearfishing, is prohibited; the area is mostly closed to the public (access only for science/environmental education). Key protected species: sea cucumber, Kamchatka crab, giant octopus, scallop, spotted seal.
- Komandorsky Nature Reserve marine buffer zone (Командорский заповедник, Командорские острова)marine reserve / no-take buffer zone
Federal nature reserve on the Commander Islands, Kamchatka Krai, in the Bering Sea / northern Pacific. The reserve includes a ~2.18 million ha marine buffer zone; fishing is entirely prohibited within the 50 km marine buffer surrounding the islands, so spearfishing is banned in these waters.
- Wrangel Island Nature Reserve marine zone (заповедник «Остров Врангеля»)marine reserve / strict nature reserve (zapovednik)
Federal strict nature reserve (zapovednik, UNESCO World Heritage) covering Wrangel and Herald Islands in the Arctic Ocean between the Chukchi and East Siberian Seas, Chukotka. The surrounding waters are protected to ~24 nmi offshore (extended in 1999); as a zapovednik it excludes practically all human activity except science, so all fishing/spearfishing is prohibited in its marine zone.
- Utrish State Nature Reserve marine area (заповедник «Утриш»)marine reserve / strict nature reserve (zapovednik) marine area
Federal strict nature reserve (zapovednik, est. 2010) on the Abrau Peninsula, Black Sea coast near Anapa, Krasnodar Krai, built on the former Bolshoy Utrish wildlife sanctuary. It includes an adjoining marine area ~2 km wide (~2,530 ha, down to ~40 m depth). As a federal zapovednik, all extraction including fishing and spearfishing is prohibited within its terrestrial and marine boundaries. Representative point: Cape Bolshoy Utrish.
- Kandalaksha Nature Reserve marine area (Кандалакшский заповедник)marine reserve / strict nature reserve (zapovednik) marine area
Federal strict nature reserve (zapovednik) on the south shore of Kandalaksha Bay (White Sea), Murmansk Oblast / Karelia, with additional sectors on the Barents Sea coast of the Kola Peninsula. ~74% of the reserve is marine. As a zapovednik it is generally closed to the public and all fishing (and thus spearfishing) is prohibited within its boundaries; only buffer zones outside the official borders allow limited recreational fishing.

Белешке истраживача
Spearfishing in Russia is legal as breath-hold underwater hunting and is regulated as a method of amateur fishing under Federal Law 475-FZ (in force 01.01.2020). The four federal method prohibitions (Article 7 part 1 clause 4) are quoted verbatim from ConsultantPlus. Russia has 8 federal fishery basins, each with its own Fishing Rules (Правила рыболовства) issued by the Ministry of Agriculture; closed seasons, daily catch limits, minimum legal sizes and protected-species lists vary by basin and must be checked for the specific region. Concrete season/catch-limit figures captured here (Azov-Black Sea: underwater hunting banned on inland waters 15 Nov-31 Mar; 5 kg/day; sturgeon, shemaya and Red Book species protected) are sourced from the Azov-Black Sea basin Rules (Order No. 1 of 09.01.2020) and are illustrative of the basin model, not nationwide constants. The cntd.ru basin-rules page and the fish.gov.ru PDF could not be fully rendered by the fetch tool (timeout/large PDF), so the specific Azov-Black Sea dates and the 5 kg limit are corroborated via web-search summaries of those official documents rather than a verbatim fetch; size_limits[] left empty because exact per-species cm values were not retrieved verbatim. License: no license/permit is required for general amateur/spearfishing on public water bodies. data_confidence=high for the federal-law prohibitions (verbatim from official source); medium for the region-specific Azov-Black Sea figures.
