>USA places a gazillion requirements for businesses (especially banks all over the world) so what Russia is doing is nothing extraordinary, on itself.

i really doubt that you have ever dealt with any Russian legal/compliance/etc process, be it a personal or a business issue. As i have been there and done that, i can tell you it is night and day difference between US and Russia here.

"Nothing personal, just business" - this is how it works in US, and "Nothing business, everything is personal" - this how it works everywhere in Russia.

I am working in the US, and because of that no bank in my homecountry is willing to touch me with a 12ft pole. They will literally not allow me to have an account because FACTA is too much of a bother.

More or less that's what I said.

In Russia, no but am very familiar how Russia-like countries work. A phone call to the right person or cash solves you issues. Or you can bang your head against the wall
