Among the economic initiatives, they also highlighted the simplification of obtaining a residence permit for foreign employees of state-accredited IT companies, support for lessees and the extension of the period of reduced income tax rates until January 1, 2024. Another initiative — providing «authorized authorities» with the opportunity to intervene in the processing of personal data of Russians on the territory of other countries. In addition, one of the proposals says that «if unfriendly actions of a foreign state against Russian media abroad» are detected in Russia, their activities may be restricted » publications of this country. For this, as indicated in the cards, the decision of the Prosecutor General or his deputies will be sufficient.
