I agree with the sentiment, but what stops the government designating annoying people or companies as russian (also see "foreign agent" and "matter of national security")?

Also, am I on the hook because my wife's great-grandfather was russian?

Because my idea is that it wouldn't be the government designating them, but judges. Just like a judge already today has the power to lock you up for life, but only after a lenghty rule of law process.
