Even Zelensky doesn't have such a ban, 50 years. Am I Dracula?” — the comedian's words were quoted by Sobchak.

Nurlan Saburov is one of the most famous stand-up comedians in Russia and the host of the popular YouTube show "What Happened Next?". He is a citizen of Kazakhstan. In early February, he was given a 50-year entry ban to Russia, the reasons for which remain unclear. It is presumed that this is related to his refusal to cooperate with the FSB.
