• The register of so-called foreign agents is maintained by the Ministry of Justice in Russia. At first, NGOs receiving foreign funding fell into it. Later, foreign agents began to recognize private individuals. Foreign financing is no longer required to be included in the list, the inclusion is actually arbitrary.
