A St. Petersburg court has upheld the legality of the Russian Justice Ministry s decision to designate feminist performance artist and activist Darya Apakhonchich a foreign agent.
The Leninsky District Court wrote in a press statement on May 13 that Apakhonchich s lawsuit had failed to satisfy requirements for a case to be heard.
Apakhonchich was among the first individuals in Russia to be included on the Russian government s list of media organizations fulfilling the functions of foreign agents.
First passed in 2012, Russia s foreign agent legislation initially targeted nongovernmental organizations accused of having received foreign funding. But it has undergone numerous modifications to include foreign media organizations as well as individuals.
