This is a perfect example of why so XXI-century-flavored electronic services (electronic money, electronic medical recipe, passport in smartphone etc) sucks goat's dick and I will never betray the paper during my life. Imagine a young guy who just wanted to visit a football match or to pay bills online. He goes to Gosuslugi (literally government service if translate to English), successfully uses the app for some time as intended, and now the app make you to chose whether you want to die for Putin or just go to jail.

European digital autocracy does not want to kill you yet but I do not see any powerful stoppers for that. Autocracy is always bad even if it is just digital.
