Russia’s Ministry of Justice has included rapper Morgenstern in its register of persons acting as foreign agents.

As the agency’s website reports, the artist “engaged in political activities” receiving funding from Ukraine and Israeli company Yoola, which monetizes the videos on YouTube.

Morgenstern reacted to his new situation on his personal Telegram channel.

His lawyer, Sergei Zhorin, has already announced the rapper’s intention to appeal the decision of the Ministry of Justice.

He told TASS.

By the way, Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safe Internet Association, considered the inclusion of the musician in the register of foreign agents on the eve of May 9 very symbolic.

– wrote on the telegram channel.

Recall that before the start of the military special operation in Ukraine, Morgenstern traveled from Russia to Dubai with his (now ex-wife) wife Dilara. The reason for his departure was the drug trafficking charges brought against him by the chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin.

Recently, the musician admitted on the Telegram channel that he wanted to return to his homeland, but could not because he was “scared”. Earlier, information appeared on the network about Morgenstern’s plans to acquire Israeli citizenship.

Among the people on the list of “foreign agents”, in addition to the rapper, were Lyubov Sobol, the former lawyer of the Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK, recognized as an extremist organization in Russia), politicians Leonid Gozman and Vladimir Milov. .
