The subject of the study is the legal restrictions on the investment activities of foreign organizations that have redomiciled to Russia. The acquisition of international company status by a foreign legal entity and the change of its personal law to Russian law do not equalize such a legal entity in rights and obligations with a Russian investor. The scientific literature does not pay enough attention to the issues of investment activities of international companies after redomiciliation. The paper examines the legislation on the control of foreign investments, which implies the need to obtain regulatory approvals when foreign persons acquire the assets of Russian enterprises. An analysis of the legislation in comparison with the practice of law enforcement indicates that there is legal uncertainty regarding the issues of redomiciliation and the freedom of international companies to acquire corporate rights in relation to Russian organizations. The methodological basis of the study includes the dialectical method of cognition, general scientific and specific scientific methods, including comparative legal, formal logical, and systemic methods. International companies, as organizations subject to two personal laws (Russian and foreign), should be considered as foreign investors whose participation in strategic sectors of the economy is limited by the legislator. This approach fully complies with modern legislation on foreign investments, which recognizes Russian citizens with foreign citizenship as foreign investors and limits their participation in strategic enterprises. In some cases, it is advisable to simplify the access of international companies to the acquisition of assets of Russian enterprises (similar to the existing rules of more lenient legal regulation). The implementation of the legislative proposals formulated as a result of the study will contribute to improving the investment climate in Russia by providing transparent legal conditions for investment activities.
