The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned more would be added to the country's 'stop list'. 9News
The list of 121 names, which includes billionaires, newspaper bosses, chief executives, professors and military officers, builds on the 228 Australians including then leader Scott Morrison and current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese banned from Russia in April.
La Trobe University Russian politics expert Dr Robert Horvath said the "Russophobic" classification was a "lie". "It means drawing attention to brave Russians who oppose him. It means pointing out that there is more to Russian culture than his totalitarian despotism." The new government is yet to announce any further sanctions but Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has consistently condemned the Kremlin's "unilateral, illegal, immoral" attack on Ukraine as an outrage.
