A committee of Russia’s State Duma has recommended advancing a bill that would make Russian citizens liable for “committing offenses against Russia’s interests abroad.”
The bill was introduced in the State Duma by the State Council of Tatarstan and State Duma deputy Ayrat Farrakhov in October 2024 and passed its first reading in May 2025.

This would mean that any Russian living abroad could be called upon to punish other Russians near them in the same way China does.
It doesn’t give us the wording of the bill. For all we know it’s similar to other laws regarding treachery. I tried to find an english translation but could not.
