BBC:
A new law has come into force in Russia requiring foreigners and long-term visitors to be fingerprinted and have regular mandatory medical check-ups.
Anyone staying for over 90 days will be checked for sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis and drug use.
Several business groups, including the German-Russian chamber of commerce abroad, have objected to the law.
Russia’s health ministry has denied reports that foreigners will have to repeat the checks every three months.
US ambassador Jason Rebholz said earlier this month that the law was “xenophobic” and made it more difficult for foreigners to live in Russia.
Mika Beuster of the German Journalists Association said the health of foreign journalists had nothing to do with the Russian government.

Under the law, signed during the summer by President Vladimir Putin, foreigners staying for over three months have to be fingerprinted with immediate notice. But from 1 March they must also be checked for HIV and Aids, tuberculosis, leprosy and syphilis, as well as the “presence or absence” of use of narcotic or psychotropic drugs and new potentially dangerous psychoactive substances. more
Smart move: be choosey who enters your nation.
Putin would make a better American president than any democrat (except Joe Manchin).
^^^^By all means please MOVE there, take all you friends too, Drop us a line on how it wokes out. Hint, you’ll need to polish up on your Russian.
Must’ve gotten the Comrade deal on Xi butt swabs.
Well, that leaves Biden out…
Joe Munchkin for president, good one, got my morning laugh in. His chances of winning are about the same as his history of passing a congressional bill, ZERO.
