Magistrate Court No. 379 of the Presnensky District of Moscow sentenced the Golos association, which monitors elections, to a fine of 300 thousand rubles for non-compliance with the law on foreign agents. An international award was recognized as payment from the world’s backstage, which “The Voice”, however, refused.
The organization intends to challenge the court's decision. However, the head of the association, Liliya Shibanova, does not rule out that “Golos” will have to be closed.
