This is a list of EU politicians and military officials Russia banned in 2015, in retaliation for EU's own sanctions and travel bans on Russian citizens the same year.

On what basis the Russian Foreign Ministry compiled the list, is also interesting to consider. Many of the banned have hitched their careers paths to the regime change circuit, including support for humanitarian interventions and human rights as an excuse to intervene in foreign countries (Libya,Syria Iraq, Nicaragua etc. - the list goes on and on). Many have been active in this since at least the 1980s.

Several are noted for their wish for an firm policy against Russia, and no doubt regard the ban as a distinction.

The list was handed to EU foreign ministries, and was soon leaked.
