The Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday published a list of 500 US citizens, including former president Barack Obama, who are banned from entering the country with immediate effect. The move is a response to the ongoing American sanctions against Moscow. The list includes many members of Congress, governors and attorney-generals of several US states, former officials currently on boards of prominent think tanks, military contractors who supply weapons to Ukraine, and even the short lived “disinformation czar” Nina Jankowicz. The list also includes US Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves, his predecessor Michael Sherwin, DC Attorney General Karl Racine, and Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt. TV hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Rachel Maddow, and Joe Scarborough were also among the sanctioned, along with former NBC presenter Brian Williams. Secretaries of the Army and the Air Force, Christine Wormuth and Frank Kendall, and USAF Chief of Staff General Charles Q. Brown Jr. made the list, but think tanks and the military-industrial complex made the bulk of the list Former Secretary of Defense and Marine general James Mattis was sanctioned for being on the board of General Dynamics, former US ambassador to Russia John Tefft was sanctioned as a senior fellow at RAND Corporation, Nelson Strobridge “Strobe” Talbot III and Norm Eisen were sanctioned for their involvement with the Brookings Institute, and senior Russia and Eurasia researcher Eric Ciaramella was among the many Carnegie Foundation employees on the sanctions list. Other prominent names on the Russian blacklist included Ukraine’s former finance minister Natalie Jaresko and former Russia expert at the National Security Council Fiona Hill.
