RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: Back to the USSR. 🇷🇺🛠️ Putin is reportedly planning to revive Joseph Stalin’s infamous 1935 travel ban, introducing Soviet-style “exit visas” for Russian citizens. Under the proposed law: No more buying a ticket and flying out freely. Traveling to “unfriendly” Western countries will only be allowed in pre-approved tour groups of at least 10 people. Nothing says “confident, thriving superpower” quite like forcing your own citizens to travel like middle-schoolers on a supervised field trip just to make sure they don’t defect. 🚌🕵️‍♂️ #Russia #Putin #SovietUnion #TravelBan
