Such a nice disclaimer
Now, the new law takes this further — criminalizing educational activities in Russian entirely for foreign agents. This covers writing, public speaking, lectures, and even social media posts. Violators face fines and prison. Organizations that let foreign agents participate also face punishment.
So, even something as basic as taking Russian classes in Russia, in order to learn the language, would be a crime if you're a foreigner.
Additionally, „foreign agents” can no longer earn money from book sales or sell their real estate property in Russia without navigating near-impossible financial restrictions. This hits exiled academics and cultural figures particularly hard, preventing them from funding their lives abroad.
Different source of the news, btw - https://news.err.ee/1609642478/aimar-ventsel-putin-has-declared-the-russian-language-to-be-state-property
Moreover, Russian-registered legal entities will be forbidden from enabling foreign agents to engage in Russian-language activities, and more critically, from allowing them to earn money through such work.
They're really looking to expel every non-Russian from the country, huh?
удачи вам в этом, фашистские ублюдки
That'll be 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 rubles.
Will you accept this drawing of a spider as payment?
No, it only has 7 legs!
Oops, my bad! Could you send it back, please?
I sent it by mail, it should arrive shortly.
This is better than actual money. How can I invest into this currency?
Or about a buck fifty

Is that not spycraft 101 since… forever?
Spycraft?
You didn't read beyond the headline, did you?
I did.
I took “foreign agents” to mean Russians traveling abroad. It didn’t occur to me people are still idiotic enough to vacation in Russia.
Good luck to them trying to prevent the use of their language by non-Russians anywhere in the world.
They'll use this as a pretext to arrest Russians in Russia if they belong to groups Russia considers "foreign actors". They already use extremist laws to arrest and control various religious minorities. This will be another weapon in their toolbox of oppression of their own citizens
Thanks, that's even worse than I thought
