Voice of America: Russia searches for ‘foreign agents’ at home, disguises its information war abroad
Russia’s government is busy rooting out “foreign agents.”
So far police agents have “inspected” 700 non-governmental
organizations, or NGOs, looking for traces of foreign funding. Police
say there are 7,000 more to inspect this year.
At best, “inspections” mean demanding copies of cartons of files. At
worst, it means carting off computers, and, in two cases, criminal
charges.
