The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dismissed the news about the introduction of exit visas for Russians as fake.


The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has once again denied a wave of rumors about alleged restrictions on Russian citizens leaving the country. The ministry called information about "exit visas" and mandatory border crossings only in groups of ten or more people an outright lie and a provocation:

This is a lie from beginning to end.

The agency reports that the sole purpose of such messages is to artificially incite panic among Russians.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also noted that such falsehoods arise with remarkable regularity – they were refuted in 2015, 2020, and 2022. Notably, the sources' arguments are repeated year after year. The Ministry also reiterated that citizens' right to leave the country is enshrined in the Constitution, and the concept of "exit visas" simply does not exist in Russian law.

Earlier, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova called these reports "nonsense" and emphasized that they were a classic example of the genre. This is a familiar technique of information attacks, actively used by publications designated as foreign agents in Russia.

The attempt to stir up panic this time, according to the Foreign Ministry, failed. Russian society, familiar with history This fake was largely ignored, another repetition of an old horror story.

    panic among Russians
    What "Russians"? Those who only need Russia to make money? What's more, they're even involved in all sorts of crappy cases. Such people should be stripped of their citizenship.

      This will be jail. And by law, such a person should go to jail. For slander and false accusations. And he'll have to pay a hefty fine.

      You can find it, but reaching it... Foreigners are probably trying, under the guise of VPNs, on Russian websites. The example of VO shows this.

            And that's what's strange... Because there were people who wrote nasty things and threats in private messages from new, fresh accounts. And when I contacted the Admins, the response was, "Well, just ban me in private messages and that's it..." And that's the whole story.

      I like people like that! But for some reason when you see them, they seem kind of petty and always try to kick others from behind their backs.

    The enemy is not sleeping and does not intend to stop trying to destroy Russia.
    And our leaders keep calling them "partners" and keep living with dreams of how to start selling them Russia's wealth again at a bargain price and buying goods from them, including those made from Russian raw materials, so as not to develop and develop their own industry. soldier

      What do you mean, "again"? Did it stop? The only difference is that the buyers' names have changed, and the price has gone down even more...

    Alexander, I see how the "card-holders" are raging on our website. By the way, the Ministry of Transport reported on the "pogrom" in the Sea of ​​Azov on the "Media Deck" website. Quite an interesting article.

      Oh no, everyone is the same - my neighbor, unemployed since 1993, went on holiday to Egypt again.
      Not a military man, not an official, not a policeman - an ordinary driver with his Kamaz who doesn’t pay a single tax.

          1) he NOT IP and NOT pays no taxes, fees, duties or fines
          2) He is considered "low-income" with 2 children - his wife works as a cleaner - and receives all benefits, allowances, and additional payments.
          3) In 2019, he bought his mother-in-law an apartment in Bulgaria on the 2nd line - so that the children would have a place to relax in the summer.

          He gets terribly offended when I say that he is "Chubais, but small - a Chubais child."

              That is, the fact that he is a criminal (either under the USSR Criminal Code or under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) does not bother you - you are only bothered

    For civil servants, members of parliament, and their families, and for the oligarchy, it would be desirable. Both exit visas and capital flight tax from Russia would be 100% of the amount.

      And for everyone who works illegally/under the table - from 3 to 5 for tax evasion.
      As in Belarus, there is criminal liability for both the employer and the employee.

      Thank you colleague. good I read it, the general phrases are opportunistic, but I came to the conclusion that based on the statistics on cargo turnover, the minimum amount of the Azov basin should be kept secret, and the maximum amount should be kept secret for the entire Black Sea and Baltic region!!!
