Why does the President of Latvia not respond to the letters of the singer Valeria, the field commanders of Novorossiya cannot engage in Internet shopping, and the journey of deputy Mizulina to Veliky Ustyug "is doomed to become unforgettable"? COLTA . RU sorted out where the famous Russians were driving and where they were resting, who were banned a year and a half ago.
The vacation season is in full swing, and deputies of the State Duma and members of the Federation Council went on vacation. But many Russian politicians, businessmen and show business stars will not be able to relax where they usually preferred to spend a vacation.
"Daliy ** nickname, and now this beauty is nationalized by the republic"
In the sanctions lists prohibiting the entrance to the territory of several countries and unions at once, large Russian officials came first. Most of them immediately told the press that before the sanctions they preferred to relax in Russia. The first deputy head of the presidential administration Vyacheslav Volodin then told reporters that "it is quite possible to ride in Russia." Among the possible places of visit, he called Crimea, Irkutsk, Sakhalin and Kaliningrad.
Presidential aid Vladislav Surkov also first fell into the lists of the United States, then - Canada, the European Union, Australia and Switzerland. The news of entering the EU lists found him in Europe - two days later, on his wife’s Instagram, their common photo from Stockholm appeared. Later, the pictures of the often traveling spouse of the Surkov no longer appeared. The official called the ban on the entrance with a great honor for himself.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin prefers to rest in the Russian south. Hispost on Facebook about the rest in the Crimean sanatorium "Aivazovsky", who previously belonged to the ex-governor of the Donetsk region Sergey Tarut, gathered more than 1,700 likes. The Deputy Prime Minister admired the designer abilities of Taruta and said that "the detachments of Crimean self-defense gave him a year ago the pinks ** nickname, and now all this beauty is again nationalized by the republic." Whether Rogozin dreamed about rest in Crimea five years ago, before the conflict in Ukraine, we can only assume: in 2010, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister, then the representative of Russia at NATO, preferred to rest in the famous French resort Courchehel . There, the time of the presidential assistant Igor Schegolev, which was on the lists, spent time there.
Where instead of the countries of the European Union, Igor Sergun, the director of the foreign intelligence service, Mikhail Fradkov, and the head of the FSB Alexander Bortnikov, was preferred to rest. However, Fradkov and Bortnikov can still visit Japan and America, and only Japan is available for Sergun. In February 2015, Bortnikov took advantage of the lack of his name on the Black List and visited the United States, and visited Crimea in March this year. Both visits were workers: in the United States Bortnikov participated in the White House summit to counteract violent extremism, and in the Crimea, he checked how much the peninsula was ready to counteract terrorism.
Large -scale sanctions were introduced against the first persons of the Russian army. The first deputy minister of defense Arkady Bakhin, commander of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia, Alexander Vitko, deputy commander of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia and ex-commander of the Ukrainian Navy Denis Berezovsky, the commander of the Southern District Alexander Galkin and many other army chiefs fell into most sanctions lists. There were reports that the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu himself would fall under the restrictions, but the sanctions against the first person did not introduce the military department.
"If one of the deputies goes abroad, we will expel him!"
Russian parliamentarians did not go unnoticed. In total, more than 30 representatives of the Federal Assembly were included in the sanctions lists. The speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko is prohibited from entering all countries that imposed sanctions except Japan. Matvienko, who previously preferred vacation abroad, for example, in Greece, where she was resting in 2004 , called the introduction of sanctions against parliamentarians by the Middle Ages because they are elected people. She herself headed for a patriotic vacation, after spending last year’s vacation in a sanatorium in Kislovodsk . This year, Matvienko plans to spend part of his vacation in Crimea and Ladoga.
State Duma speaker Sergey Naryshkin suffered stronger from sanctions. Earlier, Finland refused to give permission to enter the Russian parliamentarians under the sanctions, including Naryshkin, to participate in the OSCE summer session. In response, the Russian delegation refused to participate in the session. Subsequently, Naryshkin said that many deputies of the Finland Parliament are ashamed of the ban. It is worth noting that individual EU sanctions regarding Russian citizens are not valid if the trip is being carried out at the invitation from the supranel organization (UN, OSCE and others).
The State Duma speaker will have to do without a session of the inter -parliamentary union in the United States, which will be held in August . Naryshkin plans to rest in the Leningrad Region, and only one week .
Zhirinovsky noted that he had traveled the whole world, but everywhere it turned out to be worse than in Russia.
The First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Vladimir Dzhabarov is also prohibited from entering most countries that imposed sanctions on Russia. Dzhabarov told Coole that the sanctions did not affect his work. But he is dissatisfied with the decision of Finland to ban the entry of some members of the Russian delegation to the country: “Before that, we had the same trip to Geneva. We got there because this trip to the international site, and the sanctions were introduced against specific individuals, not delegations. It interferes that we are deprived of the opportunity to communicate with our colleagues. ” Dzhabarov plans to spend the vacation on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus or in the Crimea. He emphasized that he never rested in Europe, so he does not suffer from sanctions.
State Duma deputy chairman Vladimir Zhirinovsky escaped the sanctions of the United States and Japan. The EU imposed sanctions against him, making a bureaucratic mistake, indicating the infidels and place of birth of the deputy. Subsequently, Zhirinovsky called the “shame of the migration services of the European Union” the distortion of his personal data , and also thanked the “European fools” for restrictive measures. Zhirinovsky plans to rest in the Crimea, the assistant politician told Cabute. He loves the Black Sea coast, Altai, Sanatoriums of Kislovodsk and Caucasian mineral waters. Zhirinovsky himself noted that he had traveled the whole world, but everywhere it turned out to be worse than in Russia, and also gave valuable instructions about the leave of the same party members: “No alcohol, no tobacco and abstinence from intimate ties, this also wears the body. And since summer, then fruits and vegetables, no meat, it is good for digestion, no constipation, and the body will rest. If one of the deputies goes abroad, we will drive it out! This will not be close to the LDPR! ”
The head of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, Elena Mizulina, escaped Japanese sanctions, but does not plan to go abroad. As Mizulina Kolte said, she monthly has to answer the questions of journalists about sanctions. She plans to rest in Russia: “This year, my husband and I decided to go on a road trip to Russia. I haven't been a lot of where. I dream of visiting Mikhailovsky, I think we will call in Murom. Madly I want to visit Veliky Ustyug. We have not yet developed the route in detail, but in any case, a trip by car, when to all this impossible beauty of Russian nature a stone's throw, is simply doomed to become unforgettable. ”
Nikolai Levichv plans to "continue acquaintance with the masterpieces of Russian painting in the Tretyakov Gallery."
The leader of the Fair Russia party, Sergei Mironov, called the sanctions “kindergarten”, which is not worth attention . He also said that he “doesn’t go and does not want” abroad, and plans to rest in the North or the Far East, hoping to go fishing.
The Vice-Speaker of the State Duma from “Fair Russia” Nikolai Levicheva ordered the path to the EU, Canada and Switzerland. In view of this, he plans to “continue acquaintance with the masterpieces of Russian painting and the art of the Italian Renaissance in the Tretyakov Gallery and the Museum. Pushkin " .
The vice speaker of the Supreme Council of Crimea Sergey Tsekov can freely enter the USA and Canada. However, the Colt Tsekov said the following: “Given the fact that I am a member of the Committee on International Affairs, this does not allow me to work in full force. I cannot go to European countries, America, Japan, but I would like. All the years of political activity, I was a human rights activist. I protect the rights of Russians and those who consider the Russian language and culture relatives. Now the events of organizations of our compatriots around the world are taking place, but I cannot visit them. ”
Tsekov previously argued that sanctions do not affect his life, but interfere with professional activity. The vice speaker plans to rest in his native Crimea, where he is engaged in beekeeping. He also noted that he would like to visit Altai and Kamchatka.

Representatives of the Russian business circles of Russia fell under individual sanctions. The names of those who, according to the authorities of the Western powers, have close and long -standing relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin were included in the “black lists”. Russian businessmen appreciated the impact of sanctions on their capabilities in the world movement in different ways.
Russian Railways President Vladimir Yakunin did not suffer from the US sanctions against him, he said in an interview with the German publication Die Welt . This can be understood: at the end of 2013, oppositionist Alexei Navalny published data that the children and grandchildren of the head of the Russian Railways live in the UK and Switzerland. These countries did not bring the name of Yakunin on the sanctions lists - unlike Australia, which a ban on the entrance somewhat upset the president of the “Russian railways”. “I feel sorry for the kangaroo who live there - I won’t see them in natural conditions, but in our sanatorium“ October ”, white tigers have just occurred. I am satisfied with this, ” said Yakunin , commenting on the introduction of sanctions. Yakunin planned to rest last summer in one of the sanatoriums of the Russian Railways. “Not because this is some kind of demonstration. Honestly, I missed his own places. I have no time to come to the cottage or go south. <...> Maybe I’ll go to the sanatorium, ”Yakunin told reporters.
Unlike the head of the Russian Railways, the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, was forced to change plans for vacation, after entering his name to the US sanctions list. “I wanted to ride a motorcycle in America. <....> This decision deprives me of this opportunity, ”the head of one of the largest oil companies in the world admitted in July last year. However, Sechin has quite a lot of possibilities: so far it is listed only in the American “black list”. As Forbes wrote in May 2015, the head of Rosneft prefers to hunting during travel and rest. This happens both in Russia and abroad - from Venezuela to Africa.
A little less lucky by the shareholders of the SMP Bank Arkady and Boris Rotenberg. The sanctions were literally separated by two brothers: if Arkady Rotenberg was included in the lists of the USA, EU, Switzerland and Canada, then Boris Rotenberg was banned from entering only the USA and Canada. Perhaps this is due to the presence of Finnish citizenship in Boris (Finland is a member of the EU).
After entering the Black Lists, Arkady Rotenberg was not upset at first, Interfax reported in March 2014 with reference to a source surrounded by a businessman. “Their reaction came down to the fact that they both saw in the US actions in the actions of the United States an indirect recognition of their merits to the Russian state,” the source told the news agency. However, in September 2014, his villas and accounts were arrested in Italy - and here the Russian businessman decided to go to court. “The sanctions of some cardinal influence in principle do not have on my life. Although it is morally difficult - I am not a politician, my rights are violated. Why, because of some kind of delirium, can I not do something, go somewhere? " - Rotenberg was surprised . Arkady Rotenberg got into the “black list” of the EU as “a close friend of President Putin and his former sparring partner in judo”.
The number of real estate that fell in the city of Cagils and three villas in Villasimius and Artsaken (Sardinia), as well as the villa in Tarquinia in the Lazio region . In October 2014, Arkady Rotenberg filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the European Union with a request to cancel the EU restrictive measures against him, but in February the court lost.
But his brother Boris can live in the arrested Italian villas Arkady Rotenberg. It is not forbidden to use real estate for personal purposes, they say the rules of the European External Activities (EEAS) . But it will not work to sell or lease it - neither Arkady nor Boris. It will not work out and go to Australia - both brothers are included in the “black list” of the green continent.
The general director of Rostec Group of Companies Sergey Chemezov, whom the European Union submitted to Europe, has no longer goes to Europe as "a close associate of President Putin, who served with him in the KGB in Dresden." In the USA, “and before that I traveled only as necessary,” Chemezov said . “Now I go to Baikal with great pleasure,” added the head of the state corporation, who found herself in the sanctions lists of the USA, Canada, the EU and Switzerland. Unlike Yakunin, Chemezov still has the opportunity to see a kangaroo in a natural environment: Australia did not bring the head of Rostec in sanctions lists.
Konstantin Malofeev, head of the Marshal Capital Foundation, could not go to his friends. “I should have been a chaff at my friend’s wedding, but because of the sanctions I didn’t go to them, and the Greek wedding came to me,” said Malofeev . According to him, the sanctions imposed a significant restriction on its movement. “I used to ski in the Alps every year,” Malofeev complained, who was listed in the EU sanctions lists due to “communication with separatists in eastern Ukraine and Crimea” and because of “support for destabilization in eastern Ukraine”.
The owner of the Volga Group Gennady Timchenko, due to US sanctions , lost his personal aircraft bought from the American aircraft building corporation Gulfstream . “Sanctions are manifested in the most bizarre way. Say, Gulfstream has stopped fulfilling the contractual obligations, terminating the flights of my plane bought from it for a lot of money, ”said Timchenko, who entered the so -called subcategory of Members of Inner Circle , which also included the Rotenberg and Yuri Kovalchuk.
“ Gulfstream is prohibited from any contacts with me, they cannot discuss either the following deliveries of already ordered aircraft or the work of this. The technique is not served, it stands on jokes, ”Timchenko said. He also refused trips to Europe, but not because of sanctions: the EU, Switzerland and other European countries did not introduce restrictions against him, because Timchenko has Finnish citizenship. The businessman did not visit European countries for security reasons.
"They have the decomposition of, of course, everything"
The compilers of Western sanctions lists paid special attention to Crimea officials, as well as participants in separatist movements in the territory of Eastern Ukraine - in self -proclaimed DPR and LPR. Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksenov and Igor Strelkov (real name Girkin), a person, by his own admission, “pressing the trigger of war” in the Donbass, now cannot enter 38 countries of the world, that is, to absolutely all countries that in the current crisis introduced any sanctions against Russia-including Albania, Iceland and Japan.
The leaders of the Crimea, according to the words of the chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Vladimir Konstantinov, will not go to these 38 countries, even "if tomorrow is from me (Konstantinova. - Ed. ) And Sergey Valerievich (Aksenova. - Ed. ) Sanctions will be removed." According to him, the TASS agency said in the commentary, all these countries need to “re -read the whole history of Crimea from the first to the last page in order to now apologize to the Crimeans for humiliation.” Aksenov reacted to his Western (and Japanese) ill -wishers more condescending: “No matter how the child was amused, if only it would not cry. If they have nothing to do, then let the sanctions impose. ”
The sanctions prevent one of the young field commanders of Novorossia Alexei Milchakov from ordering goods by mail from Europe.
As for the lost tourist routes, Aksenov also does not worry - in March of this year he said that he had "not planned to have a vacation at all." Natalya Poklonskaya, Prosecutor General of Crimea, who, during the accession of Crimea to Russia, became an important propaganda figure and at the same time by the Internet meme, expressed a similar thought. She admitted that the vacation would spend at work, for which the West sincerely thanks. Poklonskaya added that "they have the same -sex marriages there, the immorality is solid, the decomposition of, of course, everything."
Бывший руководитель самопровозглашенной Донецкой народной республики, российский политтехнолог Александр Бородай не так категоричен насчет Запада — на брифинге в Донецке год назад он говорил о том, что ему «жалко старушку Европу — вот так вот борешься за мир, а тебя включают в список». Тогда Бородай признался, что любит европейские города, особенно немецкие, австрийские, южнофранцузские и испанские, но выразил надежду, что как-нибудь переживет этот запрет. Его близкий соратник, бывший министр обороны Игорь Стрелков (Гиркин), покинувший Донбасс в августе прошлого года, не мог попасть за рубеж без всяких санкций — в комментарии Кольте он рассказал, что его служебный (по линии ФСБ) запрет на выезд из страны будет действовать еще три-четыре года, и в связи с этим он даже не стал оформлять себе загранпаспорт.
Санкции мешают одному из молодых полевых командиров Новороссии Алексею Мильчакову заказывать товары по почте из Европы. Мильчаков в разговоре с Кольтой признался, что из-за санкций «заказ товаров из ЕС приходится делать на других людей». Впрочем, говорит он, выезд из России ему, как и Стрелкову, блокируют не столько санкции, сколько российские спецслужбы. Отдыхать националист пока не планирует — подконтрольная ему диверсионно-штурмовая разведывательная группа «Русич» сейчас выходит из Донбасса «на переподготовку и доукомплектование». «Нас ждет следующая война», — заявил недавно Мильчаков на своей странице «ВКонтакте». Получить комментарий по поводу санкций от еще одного полевого командира ДНР Арсения Павлова, более известного как Моторола, не получилось — на вопросы корреспондента Кольты он ответил «Все, давай до свидания!»
«И не спели для людей мы из-за санкций»
Отдельные санкционные списки в связи с событиями на Украине составила Латвия. В них попали артисты и актеры Алла Перфилова (творческий псевдоним — Валерия), Олег Газманов, Иван Охлобыстин, Михаил Пореченков и Иосиф Кобзон. Для Кобзона это не первый латвийский запрет: еще в 2003 году ему отказали во въездной визе из-за «угрозы государственной безопасности и общественному порядку», фактически обвинив в связях с «русской мафией», но через год решение отменили. В латвийских списках июля 2014 года отмечалось, что попавшие в них российские общественные деятели и артисты «способствовали нарушению территориальной целостности и суверенитета Украины».
Газманов заявил, что из-за латвийского черного списка под угрозой оказался фестиваль «Новая волна» в Юрмале (в этом году фестиваль не проводится), посетовав на отмену уже запланированного празднования своего дня рождения. Несмотря на то что остальные страны Европы и Америка для певца остались открыты, судя по его инстаграму, он предпочитает отдых на Мальдивах. Этим летом он еще отдохнул и дал несколько концертов в Крыму, фотографии из путешествия отмечены тегами #ялюблюРоссию и #впередРоссия.
Вместе с Кобзоном и Валерией Газманов поучаствовал в исполнении песни «Санкции» . В ней есть строчка: «Лица наши не понравились им, братцы, и не спели для людей мы из-за санкций». Адвокат Валерии Сергей Жорин в комментарии Кольте связал запрет на въезд Валерии с сексуальной ориентацией главы МИД Латвии: «Тем не менее после объявления о черных списках министр иностранных дел заявил о том, что он гей. Сначала испугался санкций, а потом решил сказать, что они не потому, что закон нарушен, а потому, что это преследование».
В ноябре 2014 года Валерия написала письмо президенту Латвии Андрису Берзиньшу с просьбой отменить решение о запрете на въезд. По словам Жорина, «президент не дал оценку и комментарий, на что мы рассчитывали; решение министра иностранных дел не обжалуется по латвийским законам». Адвокат считает, что это противоречит демократическим принципам, но подчеркивает законопослушность певицы: без разрешения въезжать на территорию Латвии она не планирует. В посольстве Латвии в Москве Кольте сообщили, что никто из списка за визой не обращался: «Они же знают, что это зависит не от нас».
Пресс-секретарь МИД Латвии Ивар Ласис рассказал Кольте, что и в его ведомство никто запросов не посылал. На вопрос, как Латвия, находящаяся в едином пограничном пространстве с Евросоюзом, будет контролировать въезд артистов по другим визам, Ласис ответил, что эти вопросы относятся к компетенции Министерства внутренних дел страны.
«Дух дышит где хочет»
При взгляде на санкционные списки против индивидуальных лиц возникает вопрос, каким образом выбирались те или иные представители России и сепаратистских движений Украины. Почему в списках одних стран присутствуют имена тех, кто не включен в списки других стран? С чем связано наличие санкций в отношении одних политиков и отсутствие в отношении других? Политолог и журналист-международник Федор Лукьянов рассказал Кольте, что, по его мнению, списки попавших под санкции составляются случайным образом: «В идеале имеются в виду люди, которые ответственны за те или иные действия. На практике, поскольку мало кто имеет четкое представление о том, как принимаются решения в России, все строится на неких оценках и предположениях, которые циркулируют в публичном пространстве».
Лукьянов считает, что санкции направлены на то, чтобы «надавить на кнопки, которые будут особенно болезненны персонально президенту России». В этом смысле американский список санкций более продуман, в нем значатся лица, которые непосредственно связаны с событиями, либо те, кто, по мнению американцев, может повлиять на Путина. Европа же собрала в своих списках не только политиков, но и идеологов. По информации Лукьянова, не все страны ЕС были согласны с таким подходом: к примеру, в Германии в МИДе протестовали против включения в санкционные списки любого рода «идеологов».
Сам Коровин, по его собственному признанию, «вообще не выходит из дома», так что возможные персональные санкции ему не страшны.
Одним из них стал печально известный «рупор пропаганды», ведущий итоговой программы «Время» и руководитель МИА «Россия сегодня» журналист Дмитрий Киселев — выступая в шоу Владимира Соловьева, он назвал это решение западных стран «наступлением на свободу слова», сказал, что подобные действия — это «последнее дело», и увидел в этом противоречие с «основополагающими европейскими документами о правах человека». До вхождения в санкционный список ЕС Киселев предпочитал отдыхать в Европе — в марте прошлого года пользователь Twitter @mrsBelous увидела Киселева в Амстердаме плывущим с семьей на лодке по одному из каналов города. Тем же летом он также планировал отдохнуть в Норвегии, но из-за санкций ему пришлось изменить свой туристический маршрут и поехать в Японию, которая не стала включать его в свои списки. Недавнее закрытие счета МИА «Россия сегодня» в лондонском банке Barclay's само агентство посчитало санкционными мерами британского казначейства лично против Киселева, а сам журналист вновь заговорил о попрании свободы слова и принципов демократии: «Закрыть счет ведущего информационного агентства — это цензура, прямое препятствование работе журналистов».
Отдельной строкой в санкционных списках пока лишь США и Канады идут идеологи так называемого евразийства — философ Александр Дугин, призывавший после трагических событий в Доме профсоюзов в Одессе «убивать, убивать и убивать» украинцев, и лидеры подконтрольного ему Евразийского союза молодежи Павел Канищев и Андрей Коваленко. Сам Дугин связывает свое попадание с разработкой им «четвертой политической теории», постулирующей приближение многополярного мира и утрату США статуса мирового гегемона. Введение санкций против «философской, интеллектуальной позиции» идеолог «евразийства» считает беспрецедентным, ведь, с его точки зрения, он никакие законы не нарушает, а получает при этом вполне юридические санкции. Насчет отпуска Дугина ничего неизвестно, но планы на лето санкции ему все же нарушили — по его словам, он собирался дать несколько лекций в различных университетах США. Заместитель Дугина политолог Валерий Коровин не считает, что санкции помешают распространению по миру евразийства: «Дух дышит где хочет, идея витает там, где ей вздумается, в условиях тотального сетевого покрытия всего мирового пространства идеи моментально становятся достоянием всех интеллектуальных кругов мира, и противодействовать этому невозможно», — поделился он в разговоре с Кольтой. Сам Коровин, по его собственному признанию, «вообще не выходит из дома», так что возможные персональные санкции ему не страшны.
