According to Izvestia, the authorities are extremely concerned that the population of the areas that, by order of the president, will soon be cut off by the capital, may quickly grow. A source in the Moscow government shared with the newspaper his fear that those who want to become Muscovites will begin to register en masse “with friends, relatives, or just for money.” The Moscow authorities intend to provide capital registration only to current residents of these areas, said Alexander Semennikov, chairman of the Moscow City Duma Commission on Legislation. And in order to prevent cunning visitors from becoming Muscovites, regional authorities are ready to come up with legislative initiatives. I'm curious what will be in them. It would be good if the matter was limited to a ban for “out-of-towners” to buy housing, as in Skolkovo. What if they prohibit marrying Muscovites or establish a residency requirement?
