Then you really can't say you has nothing to do with Russia. Citizenship is a very big thing in banking, and legal services. And it's certainly not about race. You could be ethnically Japanese for that matter, it's Russian passport which is the dealbreaker here.

Exactly. You could renounce it and potentially become stateless, which is a whole different problem.

I get it, guilty by association, it isn't fair. The banks need to keep their books clean, anything that could be flagged they will avoid like the plague.
