To Russia no state of emergency was declared, despite rumors circulating before an extraordinary meeting of the Russian Duma and Federal Council on Friday.

The enactment of the Military Status Act could have brought about, among other things, a ban on the departure of men between the ages of 18 and 55, travel bans and travel restrictions.

Instead, the upper house of the Russian parliament, the Federal Council, passed a law making it a crime to spread “false news” about the Russian army and support sanctions against Russia.

Speaker Valentina Matviyenko said at the meeting that the West has launched a real information war against Russia. According to Matviyenko, Russia needs strict laws for those who are waging an information war against it.

Federal Council the decision could result in fines or even 15 years in prison for spreading “false news” about the Russian military. Supporting sanctions against Russia could result in a fine.

In practice, it is a matter of war censorship. In Russia, the Kremlin speaks of the war in Ukraine as a “special military operation”. The words “war” and “attack” are in place.

With the new law, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, for Russia to tell or talk about the war in Ukraine other than as dictated by the Kremlin. The law also applies to foreigners.

Even before Friday, the independent television channel Dozd and the radio station Eho Moskvy and its online services had been shut down. Dozh and Eho Moskvy, headquartered in Moscow, have reported on the war in Ukraine from a different perspective and in different words than the Kremlin.

Russian authorities have also blocked access from Latvia Meduzan news site, but it has continued to operate. Meduza’s website can be accessed from Russia using a VPN connection.

Friday’s meeting of the Federal Council began at a quiet moment in memory of those who died in the “military operation”.

The Federal Council also passed a law containing various measures aimed at alleviating the economic plight of Russian citizens and Russian companies. The West has imposed severe sanctions on Russia, which are gradually beginning to be felt in the daily lives of Russians.

Ruplan the value has already fallen sharply against the euro and the dollar. Many Western products in particular have become more expensive.

The law allows the government to increase the social supplement for pensions and the pensions themselves again during the calendar year. Under current law, indexation of pensions is allowed once a year.

In addition, the marginal prices of medicines designated as essential and essential will be determined according to exchange rate fluctuations. The prices of medicines have already risen.
