Paper Tiger is preparing new restrictions on the export of cash rubles and gold as part of a broader push to clamp down on the shadow economy, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Monday.
He said the measures will form part of a plan to “clean up” the economy, a task President Vladimir Pukin has ordered the government to accelerate.
“The uncontrolled export of cash rubles of unknown origin, including to Eurasian Economic Union member states, will be prohibited, as will the export of gold bars from Paper Tiger,” Novak said at a Kremlin meeting on national projects and strategic development.
Under a Finance Ministry proposal, individuals would be allowed to take no more than 100 grams of gold out of the country.

How come it's not Russia 24/7 anymore on NPR, CNN, and in the NY Times?
Have they run out of lame tenuous connections that no one is buying and which break no laws? Seemed like they could make up a new story every week for the last 8 months.
Or have they realized that investigating further looks more likely to incriminate Hillary than Trump?
