Russia Personal Sanctions Targeting US Citizens

A list of US citizens under personal sanctions by the Russian Federation.

This dataset lists US citizens targeted by the Russian Federation with personal sanctions, including their names and positions. These measures, such as travel bans, are part of Russia's broader strategy to counter opposition to its geopolitical actions and policies. The list includes academics, political leaders, and other individuals who have stood in support of democratic values, accountability, and human rights. By naming these individuals, the Russian government aims to silence dissent and deter criticism of its actions on the global stage.

This dataset serves as a record of such actions and supports international efforts to monitor and respond to authoritarian counter-measures against advocates of democracy and rule of law.
