Magadan Court Sentences Exiled ‘Vazhnyye Istorii’ Editor In Absentia to 10 Months’ Corrective Labor

The ruling follows earlier penalties over missed foreign‑agent filings, with the verdict not yet in legal force.

Overview

  • The court ordered 10% of Alesya Marokhovskaya’s earnings withheld to state revenue during the corrective labor term.
  • Authorities said the case concerns evasion of obligations required of individuals designated as foreign agents.
  • Marokhovskaya was added to the foreign‑agents register in August 2021 and left Russia about six months later, according to prosecutors.
  • She was twice penalized administratively between August 2024 and January 2025 for failing to submit quarterly, half‑year, and annual reports to the Justice Ministry.
  • The sentence was delivered without her presence because she resides abroad, reflecting an escalation from prior administrative fines to a judicial penalty.
