Russia Launches Test Registry for Restricted Citizens
The Russian Ministry of Justice launched a test registry of individuals subject to temporary restrictive measures, featuring a hypothetical case of Petr Petrovich Petrov, who was included for violating foreign agent regulations. The registry follows a new law restricting Russians abroad who were convicted in absentia, including on political charges.
Consensus
- The Russian Ministry of Justice launched a test version of a registry titled 'List of Individuals Subject to Temporary Restrictive Measures'.
- The registry currently contains one entry for a hypothetical individual named Petr Petrovich Petrov.
- Petr Petrovich Petrov was included based on Article 19.34 of the Russian Code of Administrative Offenses for violating foreign agent regulations.
- The registry includes personal data such as full name, date and place of birth, INN, SNILS, and a ruble account number.
- The test registry was launched three weeks after President Putin signed a law restricting Russians abroad who were convicted in absentia.
- The law applies to those convicted on political charges such as 'discrediting the army' or involvement in 'undesirable' organizations.
- The law restricts these individuals from registering as self-employed or individual entrepreneurs, selling real estate or vehicles, using consular services, 'Gosuslugi', and bank apps.
- The law has been dubbed the 'law of civil death'.
