They already stripped and/or barred Russians from becoming citizens a few years back, so this kind of follows that trajectory.

The argument from Lithuania as I understand it that purging Russians reduces the 'protecting Russians abroad' narrative from Putin. Though it does mean one less place where Russians who oppose Putin can go while also displacing potentially thousands of Russians into Putin's other narrative that western/NATO powers are out to get them.

Hope this maneuver pays off, I guess.
