Russian senator proposes restrictions for those who left country after start of mobilization
Andrey Klishas, the head of the Federation Council Committee on State Building and Constitutional Legislation, proposed limiting distance work in “sensitive areas of the economy” for Russians who left the country after the beginning of mobilization.
Klishas told Vedomosti that the authorities could develop measures that would “make being abroad less comfortable” for Russians who have left.
“Many of them escaped, but continue to work in Russian companies remotely. Can we change the law in this regard and limit schemes that allow people to work there [abroad] and get money from here, and can we figure out if they pay all their taxes? We can,” Klishas stated.
After mobilization began in September, many Russians left for neighboring countries, with Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Finland being the main destinations. Over 400 thousand Russians left for Kazakhstan, and over 700 thousand for Georgia. 100 thousand Russians stayed in each of these two countries.
Russian Senator Andrey Klishas is one of the authors of laws on the isolation of Runet, on fake news, and on disrespect for authority.
