The Ministry of Justice of Russia recognized actor Anatoly Bely (Weissman) by a "foreign agent".

According to the ex-deputy, her activities will not affect the status, but she "of course, will consult with lawyers so that this does not affect her colleagues from Novosibirsk."

Helga Pirogova emigrated in 2022 due to the threat of criminal prosecution for political reasons.

• The legislation on "foreign agents" in Russia appeared in 2012. The law allowed the Ministry of Justice to recognize non-profit organizations by “foreign agents” if they receive financing from abroad and are engaged in political activities. The criteria for which such activities are determined are not clearly defined in the law, which allows the authorities to persecute organizations working in the field of education, culture, healthcare, ecology, and the protection of human rights.
• Subsequently, it became possible to recognize the media and individuals "in foreign agents", including those who do not receive foreign financing, but "are under foreign influence." What exactly should be considered foreign influence, Russian legislation does not specify.
