Russia· KazanRussian Ministry of Justice designates singer 'Naoko' and others as 'foreign agents'
The Russian Ministry of Justice has designated singer 'Naoko' (Diana Loginova) and other political figures as 'foreign agents'.
Background
Russia's 'foreign agent' law, enacted in 2012 and expanded since, requires individuals and groups receiving foreign support for vaguely defined 'political activity' to register and label their content. Critics view it as a tool to suppress dissent and independent voices, particularly those critical of the government.
