Najas tenuissima is a rare species listed in the “Red Data Book of the Russian Federation”. In Russia, its range is disjunctive; a few localities are known in the European part, the south of Central Siberia (Eastern Sayan: Tiberkul and Spasskoye Lakes) and in the Far East (Amur Region and Primorye Territory).
