Russia adds two unregistered antiwar opposition parties to its ‘foreign agents’ list
Russia’s Justice Ministry has added the unregistered opposition parties Mirnaya Rossiya and Rassvet to its register of “foreign agents.”
On April 22, 2024, Russia's Justice Ministry added two unregistered opposition parties to its list of "foreign agents": Mirnaya Rossiya and Rassvet. Mirnaya Rossiya, founded by exiled politician Ilya Yashin, and Rassvet, founded by journalist Yekaterina Duntsova, were listed due to their alleged spreading of false information about Russian government policies and opposition to the country's invasion of Ukraine.
The ministry also added three individuals — feminist activist Leda Garina, commentator Boris Grozovsky, and human rights activist Nikolai Rodkin — as well as poet Galina Rymbu, journalist Murat Temirov, and media outlet Razoblacheno. The allegations against these entities stem from their public criticism of Russia's actions in Ukraine.
