The State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption has approved for the first reading a bill on the introduction of QR codes in public places. The document will be considered at a plenary session on December 16. The second and third readings are likely to take place in January next year, said the head of the committee, Vasily Piskarev.
The law says that citizens will be able to visit shops, catering places and events if they have a QR code about vaccination, a document about a medical withdrawal, or about a postponed COVID-19. Such restrictive measures have already been approved by almost all regional parliaments of Russia.
Here is a video in which Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova explains the essence of this law in the State Duma …
At the same time, the authorities have decided not to pass the bill on QR codes in transport yet. Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that “on New Year’s Eve, it is too difficult to impose restrictions on transport.” But this does not mean that it will not be accepted later. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier that this bill would be finalized.
One way or another, QR-code restrictions will begin to operate throughout Russia in the near future. And their introduction has been a trending topic on social networks for over a month. People are traditionally divided into two camps – some for, others against. But there are also nuances. The main one is that this topic has become extremely politicized in Russia. Many generally perceive it as part of the general civil resistance to the authoritarian regime. Given that, for example, many “liberals” – educated people with “European” values - just support the restrictions. And they are opposed by the traditionalists and the left.
Rosbalt Like collected the most typical and vivid reactions from both sides.
The goal of the globalists is to control the resources and population of countries and to abolish the concept of sovereignty. Entering QR codes in all countries is one of the first steps in this direction. It is believed that the United States, as usual, is pushing everyone in the direction it needs, while remaining on the sidelines.

Today our faction met with Deputy Prime Minister Golikova and Head of Rospotrebnadzor Popova. They tried to convince us of the necessity and importance of the bill on the introduction of QR codes in public places. Not convinced! And not a single question posed was answered plainly. We are against. Dot.

You’re stupid? What the fuck is Ausweiss? Do you even understand the meaning of this word? Do you understand what a QR code is? This is just an Internet link to information that has been used by the whole world for a long time, including Russia!
