against specific individuals involved in corruption. so it did something that not many laws do. they assigned responsibility where it is actually due. the late leader was instrument nall convincing congress to pass this law enforcement called it the most pro russian law ever passed in the history of any foreign parliament. and the reason this law is so damaging, as well as being very honorable and noble, the reasons so damage to the putin regime and the reason they re so desperate and been so desperate to get rid of it, is because it strikes right at the heart of the corrupt system that putin has built because these people, they want to steal in russia and spend in the west. right. they re engaging human rights and corruption in our country. they steal if russian taxpayers. but they want to buy up nice real estate and n. western countries, send their kids to study in western schools, store their money in western banks. this law is about ending that hypocrisy and double standard.
