How did the struggle against “foreign agents” become a way to keep accounts in the Russian ruling elite?

The use of the term “foreign agent” in Russian legislation is not justified by anything but the only goal - not only to label people and organizations like that, but to label negatively. Otherwise, the legislator would choose the more neutral word “representative” or at least concerned to indicate every time to indicate whose “agent”, said the editor -in -chief of Carnegie.ru Alexander Baunov. The current law creates a problem not only for those who were recognized as “foreign agents”, but also for many representatives of the state, he writes. With the permission of Carnegie.ru "Medusa" publishes the article entirely .
