In particular, the Russians banned U.S. Senator John McCain from entering the country. He died in 2018.
Among the “black list” sanctions Russia included at least five dead U.S. citizens who were banned from entering Russia. This is confirmed by the list published on Saturday, May 21, by the Russian Foreign Ministry.
It is noteworthy that the Russian government was aware of their deaths, but considered it necessary to maintain the regime of sanctions. Of the 963 sanctioned Americans, close to 5 people were marked “dead”.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation in an official explanation states that they are subject to a “ban on entry (into Russia) on a permanent basis”
For example, ex-Senator John McCain (died in 2018), ex-Congresswoman Elsie Hastings (died in 2021), former CIA First Deputy Director Melissy Drisco, ex-Judge Stephen O’Neill, a former U.S. soldier, were denied admission.
It was previously reported that the Russian Federation had banned Joe Biden and his son from entering the country. Russia has banned 963 U.S. citizens from entering the country.
