Russia: How does Putin target exiled critics

The new law signed by President Vladimir Putin aims to strip Russians living abroad—whom authorities regard as opposition figures or government critics—of their civil rights. This is being done by revoking their citizenship and banning them from exercising their rights in Russia, such as issuing passports, powers of attorney, and bank accounts. Additionally, the law prohibits them from selling real estate and vehicles. The legislation targets more than 1,000 individuals and organizations, and includes penalties for those criticizing the war in Ukraine, as well as implementing restrictive measures to discourage their use of government and consular services. This law is part of an escalating crackdown against opposition and independent media since the war began, intending to intimidate dissenters and silence critics—especially those living in exile.
