Round table on Nationalization of the Russian Elite

The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, submitted a bill to the legislative body of the State Duma prohibiting officials from holding bank accounts abroad or owning foreign-issued shares and bonds. The ban applies to people holding government positions at a national and local level, the prosecutor general's deputies, members of the Central Bank's board of directors, federal civil servants and officials at state-run corporations, foundations and other organisations established under federal law, who can only be appointed or dismissed from their posts by the president, government or the prosecutor general.
