That is, the fact that hundreds of thousands of potentially dangerous people were banned from entering Russia during this period (due to the introduction of biometric controls and other procedural complications) is already producing results. And these results can be measured in a tangible way. Now all that remains is to deal with those who obtained Russian citizenship illegally. And it is forbidden to let go (and if possible, strengthen) additional control.
