Boris Nemtsov’s daughter is now a ‘foreign agent’ in Russia. So are social media accounts run by Alexey Navalny’s team.

Russia's Justice Ministry has designated Zhanna Nemtsova, the daughter of slain politician Boris Nemtsov, along with Team Navalny, a collection of social media accounts managed by staff from the Anti-Corruption Foundation, as "foreign agents." Additionally, the ministry included Circassian activist Rustam Khuazhev and the media outlet Reanimatsiya in the registry of foreign agents.

The ministry stated these individuals have propagated false information about Russian authorities' policies and voiced opposition to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Conversely, the ministry removed the Nasiliu.net (No to Violence) Center from the registry due to its dissolution.

Zhanna Nemtsova has expressed her view that the European Union should take action regarding this matter.
