“Approximately 9.3 million people are at risk.
But this does not mean that all of them are from among those who travel abroad, ”the expert said.
He noted that Russians themselves can find out about their debts in advance in order to avoid problems when traveling abroad.
“You can go to the website of the Federal Bailiff Service and find out about the presence of debt.
And not just debts, but debts for which enforcement proceedings began.

Mehdiyev added that this year, if the rate of repayment remains the same, the debt will be repaid by more people than in the past.
“That is, in reality, an important factor is not even that people at the border will be stopped, but that they are informed about it.
Because of this, people started to pay.
Last year, for example, despite the fact that 77% fewer people went abroad, only 39 thousand people paid their debts less (506 thousand versus 545 thousand a year earlier), ”he concluded.
As reported in February, bailiffs in 2020 collected more than 46 billion rubles from debtors restricted to leave Russia.
