Russian Ministry of Justice designates granddaughter of Khrushchev as a foreign agent
The Russian Ministry of Justice announced on its official website that it has designated Nina Khrushcheva, the great-granddaughter of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and a writer, as a foreign agent.
Also listed on the list are:
Philosopher Vadim Shchepa, journalist Sergey Leznyk, activist Alexey Nesterenko, and economist Yekaterina Zhuravskaya.
The Russian Ministry of Justice stated that Zhuravskaya and Khrushcheva spread false information about decisions made by the Russian authorities, opposed the special military operation in Ukraine, and participated in producing and disseminating materials of foreign agents. Both are currently residing outside Russia. In addition, Zhuravskaya is accused of equating Russia with a terrorist organization and participating in fundraising for the Ukrainian armed forces.
Leznyk, Nesterenko, and Shchepa were designated as foreign agents due to spreading materials from other foreign agents and undesirable organizations, as well as spreading false information against the Russian authorities. The Ministry stated that Leznyk also equated Russia with a terrorist organization. He also resides abroad.
Meanwhile, the charity foundation "Need Help" was removed from the foreign agents register as it has been dissolved.
On February 27, the Russian Ministry of Justice had already added journalist and TV director Vera Krychevskaya, politician Alexander Ivanov, activist Maxim Alyev, and the online media "Republic" to the foreign agents list.
