The Russian Ministry of Justice declared the Dossier Center, an investigative project of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a “foreign agent”.

The agency claims that investigators disseminated materials from “foreign agents” and “fake news” about the decisions of the Russian authorities, and also opposed Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

In addition, the register includes the former general director of the Big Book literary prize, founder of the Freedom Letters publishing house Georgy Urushadze, historians Alexander Etkind and Yuri Felshtinsky (known, among other things, as the co-author of the book “The FSB Blows Up Russia”), as well as writers Sergei Gulyaev and Alexander Genis.

• After the update on September 27, the list of “foreign agents” includes 866 people and organizations. At the same time, it also indicates people and organizations that have already been excluded from the register.
