Details: The Tatarstan government said the restrictions have been introduced "to prevent artificial panic" and to "maintain a stable situation".
Tatarstan ranks second in Russia for oil production, behind the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and is among the country's top five refining regions. Several major oil refineries are located in the republic.
