Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.
Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).
Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category).

1) Up through 4-12-2023, Joint-Stock Company Kommersant was blocked by operation of law as a result of it being indirectly owned by the SDN Alisher Burhanovich Usmanov (Usmanov) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kommersant), but transactions involving Kommersant were broadly authorized by Russia-related General License 15. On 4-12-2023, OFAC revoked Russia-related General License 15. As is the case with Russia-related General License 15, transactions covered by this GL cannot involve Usmanov himself, because there is a carveout for "transactions involving any person blocked pursuant to the RuHSR other than the blocked persons described in paragraph (a) of [the] general license".
2) This GL is unique among all active OFAC GLs. The term "operations of" is not a defined term of art. This is probably narrower than Russia-related...
