A court in Moscow imposed an administrative fine of 50,000 rubles on the political scientist and publicist Ekaterina Shulman for not marking “foreign agent” in her social networks. The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation added Shulman to the register of “foreign agents” in April last year.
The Meshchansky District Court of Moscow fined political scientist Ekaterina Shulman (recognized as a foreign agent) for 50,000 rubles due to the lack of marking of a foreign agent in publications on social networks. This is reported by Forbes with reference to Russian official sources.
In 2022, Ekaterina Shulman was already found guilty of a similar violation and fined 10,000 rubles.
In Russia, the status of “foreign agent” is assigned to persons who receive foreign grants or other support. The Russian authorities qualify the cooperation of Russian citizens with foreign partners as “foreign influence”.
Ekaterina Shulman is currently abroad, where she is engaged in scientific work and teaching activities. Her speeches and texts are very popular among users of social networks and viewers of informational and analytical programs on the YouTube platform.
