Russian Ministry of Justice Adds Comedian and Politicians to ‘Foreign Agents’ Register, while Unidentified Businesses and Interests Surface on Social Media

The Russian Ministry of Justice has added comedian Danila Poperechny to the register of “foreign agents,” citing him for speaking on a platform provided by a “foreign agent,” criticizing the North Military District, and spreading “unreliable information” about Russia and its army. Along with Poperechny, the Ministry also included Samara politician Igor Artemyev, journalist Stanislav Kucher, Boris Nadezhdin’s associate Alexei Komelev, and Bishop Albert Ratkin of the “New Word” church in Kaluga in the register.

In other news unrelated to the Ministry’s list, social media profiles for Che’Lu, a potential business or individual, were shared. While it is unclear what kind of content Che’Lu may be posting, links to their Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok accounts were included. Additionally, there were links to Amla Powder, an underwater photographer named Amla Powder, and resources related to bhringraj powder and rosemary leaves. It seems that there may be a variety of interests or businesses associated with Amla Powder and related products.
