Russia banned the entry of more than 260,000 immigrants into the country in eight months of 2026, which is 75.8% more than in the corresponding period in 2025, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said, citing data from the Ministry of the Interior. According to him, the majority of those denied entry are related to administrative deportation and deportation from Russia. Over nine months, 63,500 immigrants were forcibly deported from Russia for violating laws. This, as previously reported by the Director of the Federal Court Service Dmitry Aristov, is 1.5 times more than in the corresponding period in 2025. According to the department, for the whole of 2025, almost 64 thousand foreigners were deported from Russia, in 2024 - 87 thousand, in 2023 - 44 thousand. Volodin recalled that a law entered into force, under which the number of sections of the Code of Administrative Offenses that determine the deportation of immigrants more than doubled (from 22 to 45). Immigrants will now be deported from Russia, among other things, for participating in rallies, "defaming" the Russian armed forces, calling for sanctions on Russia and its citizens, as well as for publicly calling for actions that "violate the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation", disobeying the police, disobeying the police, and being petty hooligans.
