Russian Justice Ministry publishes home addresses of four people declared ‘foreign agents’ on its website

Update: The Russian Justice Ministry has removed the addresses from the document on its site.

The Russian Justice Ministry has published a document on its site that contains the home addresses of four people it has declared “foreign agents.”

The document, titled “Plan for conducting scheduled inspections of foreign agents for 2024,” exposes the addresses of blogger Nikolai Sobolev, voting rights activist Sergey Piskunov, and journalists Ekaterina Lushnikova and Denis Konstantinov.

As of Wednesday morning, Moscow time, the document was still accessible on the ministry’s site.

Maxim Olenichev, a lawyer from the human rights group Department One, told The Insider that the document’s publication violates Russian privacy law and that using one’s official position to expose people’s home addresses is punishable by up to four years in prison.
