This is just sheer stupidity. STUPIDITY. What else can you call it?

There, they’ve admitted everything:

This means:

They issued an unlawful decision banning me from leaving the country. They did not notify me and violated the five-day period for voluntary compliance.

Tomorrow, my travel ban is supposed to be lifted. Everything was paid today at 1:01 p.m., and the FSSP (Federal Bailiff Service) itself says in its message that the restriction will be lifted after payment.

Here is the receipt, which was immediately sent to the Kirov regional office of the FSSP.

This means that I will make it to the Grand Chamber hearing.

The question is: what the hell was the point of building all this up?

Every time, it’s the same pattern: - a stupid, completely unlawful, and senseless decision; - a scandal in the media and a flood of coverage; - the reversal or partial reversal of the stupid decision.

Why? This absurd setup, with a whole bunch of people forced to carry out unlawful orders, just so I would lose my plane ticket?

I can’t find any logic or sense in this. Here we are, sitting with lawyers and trying to figure it out.

Well, of course, tomorrow they could say: we lifted the travel ban, but we sent the paperwork by mail, so wait a week. But that would be even more stupid.

Can you find any rational sense in these actions? What exactly is the Kremlin’s devious plan here? This looks more like a monkey pressing random buttons.
