Russian anti-war politician Boris Nadezhdin is weighing his next steps outside Moscow after the Kremlin designated him a 'foreign agent.' Nadezhdin has continued addressing followers through posts from Paris in recent days.
Nadezhdin is known for his anti-war stance and past attempts to run in presidential elections. The 'foreign agent' label is a legal tool frequently used against dissenting voices in Russia, typically bringing restrictive additional obligations.
