The Justice Ministry of Russia has commented on the matter that Muratov has said,

used foreign platforms to disseminate opinions aimed at forming a negative attitude towards the foreign and domestic policy of the Russian Federation.

The list of “foreign agents” now includes 674 organizations and people. The tag/label speaks of “enemies of people” of the Soviet Era and adds administrative limitations for the funding sources to be disclosed.

It also forces the people who are “foreign agents” to mark all of their publications – including their social networking posts with a tag.
