In what has come as a shocking revelation, over 900 American celebrities, politicians and business leaders have been “permanently banned” from Russia by the country’s foreign ministry.
In all, a total of 936 people have been banned in retaliation to all the economic, political and cultural sanctions that have been imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, which began in February.
One of the prominent names on the list of the people barred from Russia is 84-year-old American actor, Morgan Freeman.
The actor was banned on the basis of the video he released where he openly advocated for the ‘Committee to Investigate Russia,’ an organisation that accesses Moscow of inteferring in US politics.
Others who have been banned from entering Russia include:
