Overview
- Rosfinmonitoring updated its public registry on November 13 to include political scientist Ekaterina Shulman and businessman Boris Zimin, both previously labeled as foreign agents.
- Banks must freeze the assets of those on the list, and listed individuals face prohibitions on media engagement, online publication, organizing public events, election participation, and most financial services.
- TASS notes Shulman was designated a foreign agent in April 2022, has faced multiple administrative penalties, and is affiliated with the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, deemed undesirable in Russia.
- RIA reports Zimin’s entry specifies his full identifying details; he was earlier sentenced in absentia to nine years in a case over the alleged theft of BelkaCar-related shares and is wanted internationally.
- Radio Svoboda reports both reside abroad and were named as accused in October in an FSB case alleging a plot to seize power and organize a terrorist community connected to figures from the Anti-War Committee.
