Russia’s Justice Ministry updates ‘foreign agent’ list to include Memorial co-founder Oleg Orlov and Russian Wikimedia director Stanislav Kozlovsky, among others

Russia’s Justice Ministry has added six people to its “foreign agents” list:

Anton Kartavin, independent Novosibirsk City Council deputy
Mikhail Chimarov, photographer and activist

The Russian Justice Ministry said that Orlov, Sokolov, Stepanov, and Chimarov “opposed the ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine,” Kartavin disseminated false information about the Russian authorities’ actions, and Kozlovsky created materials for “foreign agents” and “collaborated with foreign media outlets, one of which has been declared ‘undesirable’ in Russia.”
