Journalist Andrey Afanasiev, who collaborates with Sota, was fined 30,000 rubles for the second time in a week as a "foreign agent". Andrey Afanasiev, a journalist from the Amur region who now lives in Germany, learned of the first fine of 30,000 rubles at the end of last week: he was accused of being responsible for the absence of "foreign agency" signs in Sota, even though Andrei is not the editor of Sota and does not influence its editorial policy. Andrey was notified today of the second fine: he was fined 30,000 new rubles for ignoring the reports of a "foreign agency", not as a participant in the perversion, but in a personal capacity. Let us clarify that Afanasiev is a "foreign agent" twice: first, he was recognized by him personally, for his cooperation with Radio Liberty, and then as a member of "Suta", which the Ministry of Justice considers "an association without a legal entity", while ignoring the Lithuanian legal entity that was declared "undesirable".
