Kremlin continued media crackdown on Friday by designating Russia’s only independent network a “foreign agent.” Its editor in chief Tikhon Dzyadko says the aim is to “muzzle any semblance of free thought”
Formally, the expanded legislation requires designated"foreign agents" to file detailed reports and little else. But its real effect is to dissuade advertisers, partners and sources from collaboration. Some of those outlets included on the official register have already folded as a result. TV Rain, now number 35 on the list, denies receiving any funding from abroad.
