6 Best B2B Data Providers in Russia in 2026

The OGRN (Основной государственный регистрационный номер — Main State Registration Number) is Russia's primary legal entity registration number, issued by the Federal Tax Service (FTS/FNS) upon registration in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (EGRUL). It is the equivalent of a company registration number and is the key identifier for all Russian legal entities. All quality Russian B2B data providers source their company data using OGRN records from EGRUL. Companies also have an INN (Taxpayer Identification Number) used for tax purposes.

Russia's primary data protection law is Federal Law No. 152-FZ 'On Personal Data', enacted in 2006 and amended several times. It regulates the collection, processing, and storage of personal data of Russian citizens. A key requirement is data localisation — personal data of Russian citizens must be stored on servers located within Russia. For B2B data, the law applies primarily to personal data within company records such as director names and contact details. The Roskomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Communications) enforces the law.

Russia has approximately 3.5–5 million active registered legal entities in EGRUL, though the total number of registered entities including dormant and liquidated companies is significantly higher. Moscow accounts for the largest concentration of economically active businesses, followed by Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, and Kazan. Russia's business environment is dominated by state-owned enterprises in energy and infrastructure alongside a large private SME sector.

Key B2B sectors in Russia include energy (oil, gas, and nuclear — with Gazprom, Rosneft, Lukoil among the largest companies globally), metals and mining, defence and aerospace, telecommunications (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon), financial services (Sberbank, VTB), technology and IT services, retail (X5 Retail Group, Magnit), and transportation. Moscow is the financial and corporate headquarters hub, while industrial regions like the Urals, Siberia, and Tatarstan host major manufacturing and energy operations.
