The court refused to remove the status of “foreign agent” from Yuri Dud

The Lefortovo District Court of Moscow refused to satisfy the claim of journalist Yuri Dud to cancel the decision of the Ministry of Justice to include him in the register of media outlets - “foreign agents”. Interfax reports this.

It also became known that Dudya was included in the register due to receiving money for advertising from YouTube, as well as due to the dissemination of information from Meduza and Insider in episodes with Ekaterina Gordeeva, Alexander Gordon and Tima Belorusskikh.

The Ministry of Justice included Yuri Dud in the register of media “foreign agents” in April.

• OVD-Info launched the “ Inoteka ” project. We investigate practices of pressure on civil initiatives and protect victims from laws on “foreign agents.”
