This kind of things impact only everyday people.
This is kinda the point of this type of measures: the idea is to pressure people to rebel to their governments. But I think Russians are not exactly optimistic this can be done (despite having their fair share of protests that end in Siberians prisons)
As someone with several close Russian friends, on of whom just had a baby, doing this would suck, a lot.
Most already can’t go to Russia themselves, this would cut them off from their families completely.
It’s not about them. It’s about protecting ourselves
Also sucks when Russia sends out sabotagers and spies disguised as tourists during a war while simultaneously trying to instigate war with NATO.
They can claim asylum then if they can’t go to Russia.
True. Russia absolutely can’t find a bunch of Central-Asian looking guys with Kazakhstani passports instead. Impossible.
Perhaps you should read comments more carefully before attempting to answer them.
Spies will find other ways to enter.
