Russia on Wednesday banned entry to 235 Australian municipal deputies, the country's Foreign Ministry said.
In a statement on its website, the ministry said the entry is closed indefinitely to deputies of municipal assemblies, who have been "forming an anti-Russian agenda in Australia."
"Taking into account the official Canberra's stance to continue the anti-Russian course and introduce new sanctions, work on updating the Russian stop list will continue," it said.
The ministry also published the list of the blacklisted people.
