Navalny may lose his Russian passport
The topic of depriving people of Russian citizenship who call for sanctions against their country will be very relevant.
This was stated to Komsomolskaya Pravda by Dmitry Peskov, the Russian president's press secretary, in response to a question about his position on director Nikita Mikhalkov's proposal, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Peskov emphasized that this is not the first time such an initiative has been voiced.
“You know that businessman Deripaska was probably the first to express his opinion on the feasibility of such a bill. He, however, did not propose such a severe punishment, but said that it should be considered a criminal offense. I'm not talking about how to punish - this is no longer our prerogative. But, for sure, when we live in a time when sanctions are being abused all the time, of course, this topic is very relevant and will be discussed. But I don’t presume to predict the outcome of these discussions,” the presidential press secretary said.
At the same time, he does not know whether such a “Soviet norm” can be reintroduced into Russian life.
“But the fact that the topic itself is certainly interesting and that it will be discussed is clear,” Peskov added.
As a reminder, blogger Alexei Navalny, convicted of fraud, previously called for sanctions against his country (see: Navalny Calls for Worsening the Lives of Millions of Russians).
