If, by any chance, you don't read Russian, here is the essence of it: Russian parliament proposed taxation of using foreign words and expressions (what does that even mean? how on Earth the expression can be foreign without foreign words in it?) in public statements, if such statements are made using the official language of Russia (did they forget what language is official in Russia? or they intend to change it?).
As blogs are now considered public media, and I certainly don't want to violate that law, I think I'll switch to English from now on, so as to not make any public statements in Russian. I might consider switching back if they change the "official language" to something else.
