Question

Can an American company now sign some kind of worker contract with a Russian citizen (individual, programmer, remote work)?
Or are there any restrictions?
If so, please tell me what this contract will be called?

Answer 1

maybe, except for the Crimea.
regular subcontract.

Answer 2

It is possible, but the contract must clearly state under what legislation the disputed points will be resolved.
American customers will never go to an arbitration court, and according to the laws, Russians will not resolve issues.
Therefore, it is not entirely clear why the heck is a piece of paper that will not have anything under it. In the Russian Federation, this will not work, and no one from the states will look for you. That's why they don't work like that.
"The Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation explains that the Labor Code of the Russian Federation does not provide for the possibility of concluding an employment contract on remote work with foreign citizens operating outside the Russian Federation (letter of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated 07.08.2015 No. 17-3 / B-410). The Ministry of Labor also recommends cooperation there with this category of individuals in the framework of civil law relations.
So if you draw up a contract, then only under the laws of the states in relation to a subcontract in the form of a foreign citizen (you).
