One of the parlament members floated the idea of seizing (*) people's savings to offset the effects of the sanctions.
Though "floated" doesn't quite capture it - he apparently "explained" that this will be necessary and "reminded" that the government will have no choice but to "arrest" the savings of Russians to deal with the crisis. To a question of whether these funds will be repaid, he said that it'll take several generations to to do so, at which point it will all be eaten by an inflation.
They are all puppets, so it doesn't matter who said it exactly and in which context. It's the message that matters. And the message is chilling.
