Poor bastards
I wonder if they even got the opportunity to complain or try and fight for their rights?

(Knowing the Russian "government" probably not.)

It's unlikely, but knowing the Russians they'll find a way around it. Still, it's disappointing news.

Well then , I will cross that country off my holiday list.

Considering their communist history I'm hardly surprised about the lack of say the people have in such matters, like Cyprus who have also announced a ban they have a terrible economy, in a country where 40% of people smoke the lack revenue could be devastating. Whilst EU countries might yet decide on regulation rather than a blanket ban its not going to be as easy as it currently is.

Russia's already thriving black market will welcome such news.

I'm absolutely sure this news won't affect many Russians, it will of course line the pockets of the black marketeers and the mafia! Ex communist countries are far extremely resouceful.
