The Savelovsky Court in Moscow fined Lyubov Petrova, editor‑in‑chief of the publication “Journalist,” 4,000 rubles (€45 ) for violating Russia’s “foreign agents” law (Part 2.1, Article 13.15 of the Administrative Offenses Code). The fine was imposed because an article mentioning science journalist Anastasia Kazantseva—who is listed as a “foreign agent”—did not include the required label.
