Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov previously refused to consider those who left after the start of the special operation as enemies of Russia. “There are those who are afraid and who do not understand. And they are not enemies of the state. I am convinced,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, did not support Peskov's point of view. “It turns out that in order to become a patriot of your country, you need to criticize the actions of Russia, go abroad, and loudly and pathetically, creating a hype around the person, and then, when the political degree of confrontation falls, come back,” he said.

On May 10, Senator from Crimea Sergey Tsekov initiated the adoption of a law in Russia that would prohibit mentioning in the media and on Internet resources the names of artists who left the country after the start of the special operation. “I am thinking about the possibility of developing such a law, it is necessary. It's time to make a decision - these are anti-Russian people, their names must be forgotten forever, ”he said.

Andrei Klishas, ​​head of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, ruled out the adoption of such a law.
