Serfdom in Russia was abolished almost 152 years ago. But not to the end. And the Russian government constantly reminds us of this. This time, the president personally reminded him with his legal product, which the people immediately dubbed the law on “rubber houses”.

Putin kept his promise... Do not laugh, listen to the end. Putin really kept at least some of his promise. In his address to the Federal Assembly, and before that in campaign articles, he promised to propose a number of measures to combat illegal migration. And in the eighth month of his third presidency, he proposed amendments to the Law “On the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to freedom of movement, choice of place of stay and residence within the Russian Federation”, as well as to the Criminal Code and the Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO). This is exactly how the presidential bill submitted to the State Duma the other day, which introduces criminal liability for violating the rules of registration at the place of residence and at the place of stay, is framed.

For fictitious registration of Russian citizens, it is proposed to punish with a fine of 100 to 500 thousand rubles, forced labor for up to 3 years or imprisonment for the same period. Fictitious registration of foreign citizens, according to the bill, will be punished only by a fine. Fictitious registration in the draft law is understood as "registration of citizens on the basis of the provision of knowingly false information or documents." The bill also proposes to supplement the Code of Administrative Offenses with an article that introduces punishment for a Russian living in an apartment without registration. For this, it is proposed to fine the amount of 2 to 3 thousand rubles, and homeowners will pay up to 5 thousand rubles.

The explanatory note to the law directly states that it is aimed at combating the so-called "rubber houses", where many people are fictitiously registered. They say, therefore, it is impossible to establish the real place of residence of a person, and state accounting bodies cannot provide reliable information to other state organizations - military registration and enlistment offices, courts, and the tax service.

The fact that every law that is submitted to the State Duma after May 7, 2013 restricts some freedoms is already obvious. Now it's time for amendments to freedom of movement. But to punish people for registration (she is in the Soviet first marriage - "propiska", she is in the royal girlhood - "serfdom") is even more strange than looking for foreign agents among the opposition. In the search for foreign agents, there is at least the logic of a political reaction: since you are against the authorities, it means that you are definitely “jacking at foreign embassies”. "Our people" do not take taxis to the bakery. But fighting against fictitious registration instead of abolishing this institution in principle is an indicator of the attitude of the authorities towards the Russians (and even more so towards those who “came in large numbers here”), like a master towards his serfs.

The rules for registering in Russia, obtaining citizenship, residence permits and work permits are such that it is extremely difficult to fulfill them without fictitious. Moreover, entire departments feed on the difficulties of these rules and on this very fiction.

Recently, in an interview that I had to edit, a high-ranking official of the Federal Migration Service openly stated that Russia has perhaps the most stringent migration registration system in the world. Moreover, officials feed on both registered and unrecorded.

Citizens, if caught, will pay a fine or pay off a new act of domestic serfdom in Rus'. After all, the peasants also redeemed themselves from serfdom right up to 1917. And then Stalin came up with collective farms altogether, depriving them of their passports for a long time. The course of thought of the authorities since then, in general, has not changed much.
