Three reports were drawn up under the article on the failure to submit a “foreign agent” report, and three more on the implementation of “foreign agent” activities by a person not included in the register of “foreign agents”.

“Obviously, this is a way of putting pressure on me, as the editor of Astra, and on the publication itself for our work — daily fact journalism 24/7. We will continue to do our job,” Anastasia said.

Chumakova was not officially included in the list of “foreign agents”, but the Ministry of Justice noted that she works for ASTRA. The publication was recognized as a “foreign agent”in October 2024.
