New bill would add ‘disobeying a border guard’ to Russia’s list of deportable offenses

Russia's State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin is pushing to make disobeying a border guard one of the grounds for deportation, broadening the list of deportable offenses. This move comes amid heightened concerns about immigration control and national security in Russia. It reflects the government's tightening grip on who can legally stay in the country, potentially impacting both legal and undocumented migrants. This legislative push underscores the broader political climate of increased scrutiny and control over foreign nationals.
