Resistance to QR codes in Russia has taken on many forms, including boycotts and beating up ID inspectors. It is what it is.
The Russian government is still planning to push through a
deeply unpopular nationwide QR code law — but making such legislation a reality could be a tall order.
In some regions where QR codes are already in place,
authorities have hastily abandoned enforcement efforts.Fed-up Russians are boycotting, bypassing, and beating people up.Non-existent enforcement in KazanOn November 22, Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan,
became the first city in Russia to require QR codes for public transportation. The new rule led to absolute chaos: buses were being delayed by twenty minutes or more as conductors struggled to check QR codes — and there were numerous reports of angry passengers starting brawls.
It appears that Kazan basically... gave up. QR codes are still required to use public transport, but the rule is not enforced in any meaningful way.
Comment: Good heavens. How dare those deplorables try to slip out from under the indoctrination machine? It's an unconscionable exercise of free will! It must be stopped! [/sarcasm]
