A YEAR AFTER: MAIN VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN CRIMEA PART 4 istration of a foreign citizen or stateless person at a place of residence in a residen- tial premise in the Russian Federation and envisages a penalty, which varies from a R ne in the amount of 100 thousand Russian rubles to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years. Similar liability is envisaged for the R ctitious registration of foreign nationals or stateless persons. The R ctitious registration of foreign nationals or stateless persons at the place of residence in a residential premise in the Russian Federation means their registration at the place of stay (residence) in a residential premise on the basis of submission of the deliberately incorrect (false) information or documents or their registration at the place of stay in a residential premise with no intention to stay (reside) in these premises or without the intention of the host party to provide these premises for their stay (residence). Oleg Zubkov described his situation in his blog as follows: “A year ago the family of our friends from Moldova came to visit us.

He showed us a criminal case with around 25 sheets, asked a few questions and said that we were free to go at the time. I sat there, in the course of interrogation and thought: “Serves you right, you were the R rst running around with U ags and wanted 8 to be in Russia…” . An indirect but important factor which restricts the freedom of movement is the limitation of the transportation of belongings through the introduction of direct bans or customs regulation. Being unable to take the necessary belongings (some- times it can refer not only to household items, but also, for example, tools or equip- ment required for professional activity, all sorts of collections or archives), people are forced to refuse from relocation. Sometimes, however, the authorities proceed from indirect methods to the out- right expulsion of dissidents. The following public R gures – leaders of the Crimean Tatar movement and activists have been deported: • On April 22, 2014 – Mustafa Dzhemilev, MP of Ukraine, a ban on the basis of par. 1 of Art. 27 of the Federal Law On the Procedure for Exit from the Russian Federation and Entry to the Russian Federation for a period of 5 (R ve) years to April 19, 2019; 8 http://olegzubkov.blogspot.com/2015/09/blog-post_58.html 87
