The Ministery of Finances are looking into transferring most of the cash money flow in Russia over to plastic cards and harshly regulating the amount of free currency in circulation. Each shop and money transfer point (Car Dealers, Markets, etc would need an ATM at least)

The article is in Russian, but I have not found any English source citing the same. I decided in our times of confusion and uncertainty that this is a troubling sign. I am not a big supporter of conspiracy theories, but my everyday life as a Russian Citizen would be greatly hindered by this proposal.

Not to mention the chaos in smaller enterprises and in an event of power failure. One would not be able to buy, or sell anything legally and easily without that card. You wouldn't even get your usual salary in cash with a side dish of the usual workplace kickback.
