I'm confused. Either this is:
[A] You may not save more money in your bank account(s) than 3 * current yearly salary+10k rubles. If your bank account balance is higher, the burden of proof is reversed and you need to prove that you earned it properly.
[B] The amount of incoming cash over some unknown period of time, if higher than 3 * salary+10k rubles, means that every cent above that boundary gets confiscated unless you can prove you earned it.
For [B], that unknown period of time is rather incredibly important. If it's 'one year' that means this law effectively says: "If you corrupt and crime your way into more money, allright, but, cap yourself at a 2:1 illegal-legal rate; any more than that and the burden of proof reverses and we'll just take the remainder. If it's 3 years though, then this says: Any money you make outside of your salary is capped at ~€50 a year (not 50 thousand, fifty). Any more and we just take it.
For [A], hoo boy, that seems like a crazy or desperate move: Steal from those who saved. That really creates a YOLO culture where you just spend every cent you earn immediately, never building anything up because it'll just be taken. That, and everybody will be buying a spacious mattress IMMEDIATELY and will continue to use that as their personal bank for a very very long time.
Separately, the 10k rubles rider seems crazy. 10k rubles is, even before the ruble's collapse, something like €/$ 150,-. Even in Russia where yearly salaries are considerably lower than e.g. western europe or the US, €150,- is a rounding error compared to even a low yearly salary, right?
Anyone have more details? It sounds like perhaps it's B, over a year, so this just caps corruption at 2:1. Whilst I'm sure that'll have quite an effect on russian society, it's not going to significantly affect anybody other than apparatchicks.
