Hello and cheers all, I have a question about the content of < https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:PD-RU-exempt >
The template say: "official documents of state government agencies and local government agencies of municipal formations" ---> does this meant it include the statement or works of a person on behalf of a government agencies, like speech of Vladimir Putin as President of Russia, or others officer of Russian goverment about foreign affairs and so?
I want to make sure because not like PD-USGov, which recognize PD scope with "*employee, taken or made as part of that person's official duties* " , this PD-RU seem not that clearly. Thank you in advanced.

I don't know specifically about Russia, but there could be a separate provision for speeches and it's easier to claim that the speech is an official act if it's incorporated in some official act like the transcripts of the Duma.
