Allt fler organisationer klassas mot sin vilja som ”utländska agenter”. Under sommaren har några av Rysslandsfrämsta människorättsorganisationer – Agora, Allmänhetens dom och Memorial – drabbats av detta. ---  ”I stället för att bekämpa brott mot medborgarnas rättigheter”, skriver organisationen, ”för staten ett krig mot dem som avslöjar dessa brott."

"The Justice Ministry has added two beleaguered NGOs to its list of "foreign agents," according to the ministry's online registry.

Two St. Petersburg-based organizations, the Institute for Information Freedom Development and Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg, are the latest NGOs to be labeled foreign agents under a controversial law passed in 2012 --- The St. Petersburg branch of the Soldiers' Mothers group made waves earlier this week when its head, Ella Polyakova, who is also a member of the Kremlin's human rights advisory body, said Russia had invaded Ukraine.

"When masses of people, under commanders' orders, on tanks, APCs and with the use of heavy weapons, [are] on the territory of another country, cross the border, I consider this an invasion," Polyakova said in comments to Reuters."
