The Russian State Duma voted to strip opposition deputy Ilya Ponomarev of his powers for not fulfilling his duties or participating in parliamentary votes since 2014. The vote concluded with 413 deputies for and three against. Ponomarev was the only deputy in the Duma who voted against the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014. When he traveled to California soon after, his bank accounts were frozen and he was allegedly prohibited from traveling abroad. He has not returned to Russia since then.
