“If the legislation is approved (which is almost certain), Russia’s authorities will gain the power to strip Russians of their citizenship”
We’re doing that now, by diluting the citizenship of Americans, by flooding the country with Illegals and other Third World migrants. Their way is just a bit more targeted.
“revoke the foreign travel rights of people convicted of reposting certain “wrong” content online”
No-Fly List, but we go one further, you get on that by accessing the ‘wrong’ websites.
“..and access every single telephone conversation and email that crosses Russia’s telecommunications lines.”
Look up “Stingray”. And, of course, NSA.
“The authorities will be able to revoke Russians’ citizenship for working in international organizations.”
Hopefully Trump does the same, along with Israel, where they found these ‘organizations’ are gun-running and provide cover for terrorists.
Good for Russia. Sounds like they’re trying to hold their country together against some VERY NASTY enemies.
It’s a form of imperialism.
