OREANDA-NEWS. State Duma deputy Sultan Khamzaev proposed to ban businessmen and actors who left the country during a special operation in Ukraine from entering Russia. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

According to him, it is necessary to introduce "technology to block the return of" escaped guest performers ".

“Some artists, bloggers and oligarchs have preferred “islands of happiness” in other countries to their homeland. They earn money here, and run away at the first difficulties. There is no better time than to separate the wheat from the chaff,” Khamzaev said.

Earlier, the director of the films "Tightness" and "Dylda" Kantemir Balagov announced his departure from Russia. Film critic Anton Dolin, TV presenter Ksenia Borodina and others also spoke about their departure from Russia.

Russian director Kantemir Balagov wrote on his Instagram that he had left Russia.

“We left Russia. We are very sorry and deeply devastated. At one point, our future was taken away from us. Our lives have been taken from us. Our parents and friends were taken from us. But one thing they couldn’t take was cinema,” the director’s post reads.
