As a result of the Kremlin apparently has no different urgent points for the time being, greater than 960 People have been “completely banned” from coming into Russia. The listing contains such seeming no-brainers as Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, however there’s no scarcity of eyebrow-raising names as effectively.
Now not welcome in Russia are such American menaces Rob Reiner and Morgan Freeman — who respectively directed and narrated a 2017 video concerning the Kremlin meddling within the 2016 U.S. presidential election (watch it under) — together with Mark Zuckerberg and John McClain, who’s one in all three deceased senators to make the listing.

All are accused of spreading “Russophobia,” per a launch that pulled the welcome mat.
Notably absent from the ban is Donald Trump.
Under is a translated model of the Kremlin’s assertion that was launched over the weekend; the Russian-language model is right here:
Within the context of responding to the always imposed anti-Russian sanctions by the USA and in reference to incoming requests concerning the private composition of our nationwide “cease listing”, the Russian Overseas Ministry publishes a listing of Americans who’re completely banned from coming into the Russian Federation.
We emphasize that the hostile actions taken by Washington, which boomerang towards the USA itself, will proceed to obtain a correct rebuff. Russian counter-sanctions are pressured and geared toward forcing the ruling American regime, which is attempting to impose a neo-colonial “rules-based world order” on the remainder of the world, to vary its habits, recognizing new geopolitical realities.
Russia doesn’t search confrontation and is open to trustworthy, mutually respectful dialogue, separating the American individuals, who’re all the time revered by us, from the US authorities, who incite Russophobia, and those that serve them. It’s these people who find themselves included within the Russian “black listing.”
