Journalist Marshenkulova* fined under foreign agent article

A Moscow court has fined Zalina Marshenkulova*, a journalist from Kabardino-Balkaria, by 45,000 roubles for failing to indicate her foreign agent status in social networks.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that in the fall of 2024, the Russian Ministry of Justice (MoJ) added Marshenkulova*, accused of justifying terrorism, to the register of foreign agents, and the “Rosfinmonitoring” (Russian Federal Financial Monitoring Service) added her to the list of terrorists and extremists. She appealed against her arrest in absentia, but the court upheld it. On August 6, 2024, it became known that Marshenkulova* was placed on the international wanted list.

Sources said that the case was prompted by her statements about the death of blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, who died in an explosion in a Saint Petersburg café on April 2, 2023. However, according to investigators, Marshenkulova placed her posts justifying terrorism on the Telegram no later than March 3, 2023, that is, a month before Tatarsky's death.
