Editing Modafinil (section)

====Russia====
In Russia, starting from May 18, 2012, modafinil is Schedule&nbsp;II controlled substance. Being classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in Russia means that it is seen as a drug with a high potential for abuse and dependence. This classification imposes strict regulations on the production, distribution, and use of modafinil. Possession of a few modafinil pills can lead to three to ten years imprisonment. Modafinil is not approved for medical use in Russia and cannot be bought even in pharmacies. It also cannot be imported from abroad, even if you have a prescription issued outside Russia.<ref name="base.consultant.ru-2017">{{cite web |url=http://base.consultant.ru/cons/cgi/online.cgi?req=doc;base=LAW;n=142882;fld=134;dst=4294967295;rnd=0.8965571122244;from=141820-563 |title=Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 06.30.1998 N 681 (as amended on 02.26.2013) "On approval of the list of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors subject to control in the Russian Federation" |website=base.consultant.ru |format=PDF |access-date=January 3, 2017 |archive-date=August 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210828174157/http://www.consultant.ru/cons/cgi/online.cgi?req=doc&base=LAW&n=142882&fld=134&dst=4294967295&rnd=0.8965571122244&from=141820-563 |url-status=live | language = Russian }}</ref><ref name="Russia-New-Stimulator">{{cite web |title=Россия начнет производить новый стимулятор на базе модафинила |trans-title=Russia will begin to produce a new stimulator based on modafinil |language=ru |url=https://medvestnik.ru/content/news/Rossiya-gotovitsya-proizvodit-novyi-stimulyator-na-baze-modafinila.html |access-date=December 8, 2023 |website=medvestnik.ru |archive-date=December 8, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231208054906/https://medvestnik.ru/content/news/Rossiya-gotovitsya-proizvodit-novyi-stimulyator-na-baze-modafinila.html |url-status=live }}</ref> There are multiple cases of criminal proceedings initiated against Russian residents who tried to import modafinil by mail from abroad.<ref name="SpbPenal2020">{{cite web |date=February 19, 2020 |title=В Петербурге завели дело из-за полученных по почте таблеток от сонливости |trans-title=In St. Petersburg, a case was started because of the pills received by mail from drowsiness |language=ru |url=https://www.rbc.ru/society/19/02/2020/5e4d28499a79473eeeac6613 |access-date=December 8, 2023 |website=РБК (RBC) |archive-date=December 8, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231208054905/https://www.rbc.ru/society/19/02/2020/5e4d28499a79473eeeac6613 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="ru-russian-trapped-2023">{{cite web |date=October 11, 2023 |title="Вместо лечения — тюрьма".
