In Russia those officers can check quite a lot of information about a person, even their tax returns and have power not to let person out by any reason
You can guess what scares people not to go back to Russia

Such things exist everywhere. Then this practice has taken place recently. That can't be the cause.

Why it can't be the cause?
Don't forget the origin of the problem. That person wasn't afraid of border officers but of political situation, so if border officers wouldn't let her out where she would go for help? And who would help her. Answer this yourself
