According to Olga Romanova, executive director of the "Imprisoned Rus" movement, who shared her insights on The Breakfast Show, the confiscation of an internal Russian passport is a civil execution. A person will not be able to sell an apartment or renew a foreign passport linked to a residence permit. All that remains is to obtain refugee status.
