The campaign against the Dima Yakovlev law was initiated by foreign sponsors, most probably the headquarters of Hermitage Capital Management founder Bill Browder, who has devoted his energy to securing the adoption of the Magnitsky Act. Therefore, the campaign against the Dima Yakovlev law is likely to have highly negative consequences for the opposition. Moreover, it will mean political suicide for them.
