WORLD1d agoRussia wins landmark CAS case against international ice hockey federationThe Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has delivered an unprecedented shock to the sporting world by ordering the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) to admit Russian national teams to all competitions in the 2026/27 season. International Ice Hockey Federation loses court battle against Russia Although the Russian Ice Hockey Federation (RIHF) had been pursuing its legal battle methodically, few had predicted such an unequivocal victory in a sport so dear to Russians. Organisationally, international ice hockey is dominated by a relatively small club of six or seven influential countries with anti-Russian leanings. Nevertheless, CAS judges unanimously ruled that the IIHF had failed to provide sufficient evidence of security threats — the main argument the federation had once again used to justify extending the ban. Lawyers representing the Russian side demanded proof of such threats: official warnings from tournament organisers, intelligence reports indicating that unrest was being planned, or formal visa refusals. The IIHF had no such documents. Its position rested on general statements and the political context surrounding Ukraine. CAS reasonably ruled that, in the absence of documented security threats, depriving athletes of the right to compete after the International Olympic Committee had issued positive recommendations was unlawful. This was all the more significant given that the IIHF statutes prohibit restricting teams' participation on the basis of nationality.pravda_ru · russia

WORLD2d agoHow LGBTQ Christians in Russia are holding on to their faith despite condemnation from the Russian Orthodox ChurchFor nearly three years, queer people in Russia have effectively been treated as outlaws: On November 30, 2023, the authorities declared the nonexistent “LGBT movement” “extremist.” The Russian Orthodox Church has joined the government’s campaign against LGBTQ people, and for believers, pressure from the church is often even more traumatic. Reporting for Meduza, the LGBTQ outlet Just Got Lucky spoke with queer believers and priests who support them about how they explain to themselves and their loved ones that their sexuality does not conflict with their faith.Meduza [en]

WORLD2d agoHere’s what Russians living abroad need to know about taxes, foreign bank accounts, and the 183-day rule that can change everythingThe concepts of tax residency and residency for currency-control purposes are critical for anyone who has left Russia or divides their time between two countries. The obligations and risks depend on your circumstances: perhaps you have moved away for good but still rent out an apartment in Russia, live abroad but still earn a salary from a Russian company, or have no income in Russia but spent more than 183 days there in a year. Other situations are possible, too, and the rules can be confusing. How and when does your status change? How does tax residency differ from residency for currency-conMeduza [en]
