The Russian government supports the proposal to deport immigrants who defame the military and participate in illegal gatherings
The legislative working committee of the Russian government has reviewed a bill that aims to expand the legal grounds for deporting immigrants from Russia. The newly added violations include: defaming the Russian military, violating laws related to public gatherings and demonstrations, abusing freedom of mass information, inciting destruction of Russia's territorial integrity, inciting sanctions against Russia, inciting hatred or hostility, and refusing to comply with instructions from police, military, Federal Security Service (FSB), and National Guard personnel.
Currently, there are 22 provisions in the Russian Code of Administrative Offenses that list administrative deportation as a penalty. In the summer of 2024, the Ministry of Internal Affairs submitted this bill, proposing to add 20 more provisions, making deportation an obligatory or primary penalty for these violations. We hope that the slight delay in the progress of this bill is not an "indefinite stalemate" deliberately created by migrant lobbying groups, but rather a typical Russian approach of "preparing the sword without delaying the chopping, and acting swiftly once it is done."
This bill is one of the measures taken by Russia in recent years to tighten immigration management and strengthen national security and social order control. By expanding the circumstances for deportation, it further clarifies the behavioral constraints on foreign nationals in Russia, focusing on actions that harm Russia's national interests and public order.
