Journalist Anna Zueva was fined for "violating the foreign agency legislation.” She is not recognized as a “foreign agent”, only a member of organisation labeled as “foreign agent”.

The Sovetsky District Court of Ulan-Ude fined Zueva for not having a label on her YouTube channel - the court decided that the label should be due to the fact that the journalist is a participant in the “Soft Power” movement which is included in the register:

In her resolution, Vlasova wrote that she “takes into account my property status and the social danger of this offense,” so “the most humane court in the world” imposed a fine of 10.000 rubles. Amazing generosity, of course, except that I am not recognized by the Ministry of Justice as a foreign agent.

My lawyer and I will, of course, challenge this unfair decision. I haven’t put up these stupid people’s badges and won’t, since the law on “foreign agents” is illegitimate and discriminatory. I don’t plan to pay the fine either ,” Zueva said.
