Russia's Justice Ministry has added prominent film director Roman Kachanov, who has condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, to its "foreign agent" list, the ministry's website said. The ministry also added to the list St. Petersburg regional politician Nikita Kirillov, political strategist Sergei Antonov, and St. Petersburg municipal deputy Vladimir Volokhonsky, who had been previously included by Rosfinmonitoring on a list of “extremists and terrorists.” Another new name on the list is French political scientist Laurent Vinatier, who was arrested in Moscow earlier this month and is now in pretrial detention on a charge of violating the "foreign agent" law.
