«In most cases, the ban has expired. We participate in court hearings, help our citizens to withdraw from the black list. Up to date, 53,000 people have been included in the list under complex articles. They were deprived of the right to enter Russia through the courts. Other 40,000 committed administrative violations. Half of them can already go to work in Russia," Medetbek Aidaraliev told.
