The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation entered the singer Monetochka (Elizaveta Gyrdymova) and the founder of the Gulagu.net project Vladimir Osechkin into the register of "foreign agents".
In addition, the list of “foreign agents” includes bloggers Vadim Kharchenko and Anton Ustimov, activist Ibragim Yaganov, Moscow City Duma deputy from Yabloko Daria Besedina, and the T9 NSK project for transgender people and their loved ones.
The Ministry of Justice said in a statement that Monetochka received "support from foreign sources", spoke out against the war and raised funds "in support of an unfriendly country - Ukraine."
Osechkin, in addition to his anti-war position and receiving foreign funding, "took part in the Ukrainian coordinating headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war," the department reports.
Daria Besedina allegedly distributed materials from “foreign agents”, spoke out against the war, and also “propaganda of LGBT relations.” The same “LGBT propaganda” is imputed to the T9 NSK project.
Ustimov and Yaganov "called for the violation of Russian legislation and the fight against the current government," and Kharchenko "spread negative information about the activities of the Russian Defense Ministry," the Ministry of Justice believes.
