> Moscow’s Nikulinsky District Court fined politician Boris Nadezhdin 10,000 rubles for allegedly participating in the activities of an “undesirable” organization. The case concerned an interview he gave to Meduza. Nadezhdin had already been barred from a planned State Duma bid after being designated a “foreign agent” and receiving another administrative fine, and he has since announced that he left Russia.
