I selected a number of key words and assigned them a value. To decide on the value, I used the following saying:

“Строгость российских законов смягчается необязательностью их исполнения(Ru.m.wikipedia.org)

“The severity of Russian laws is alleviated by the lack of obligation to fulfill them” (Translation kindly provided by Setarko),

Therefore by extension, although the passing of a new law or amendment may be noted (score=1), it will have little impact, until a very visible implementation, in the form of, for example, a jail sentence, occurs (score=2). Please see Notebook for details of the calculation.
