Sorry pal, but sometimes I doubt that you really are a businessman! Anyone with common sense can figure out the following things:

1) deportation was popular in the USSR [the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics] (for "enemies of the state") - predominantly during Stalin's time, so unless you're hardcore Buddhist who believes in reincarnation and thinks that Putin is a more handsome version of Stalin, 'Uncle Joe' is dead, deceased, gone and thus an ex-dictator.

2) A person "from Ukraine with a Russian passport" is a Russian citizen. If you doubt my words - check international law. It is how people are legally defined.

3) A mystery question here: "how can you deport citizens within their own country?"  (Maybe the Carribean Villa... ? Then student's name isn't Natalya by any chance...?)

4) If you swear to protect people, make sure that they're your friends and not friends to your wallet and / or bank account. Otherwise feel free to join Rick on a holiday tour of emotional explotation, after endowing a chair at a Russian university for Studies of Professional Scamming and A(rse)stronomical Swindling...
