The updated list also includes politicians Leonid Volkov and Dmitry Gudkov, publicist Alexander Nevzorov, investigative journalist Sergei Yezhov, human rights lawyer Sergei Davidis, Ksenia Fadeeva, former head of Alexei Navalny's Tomsk headquarters, and Sergei Ukhov, former head of the Perm headquarters and founder of the Perm 36.6 channel, Mediazona reported. References to Navalny and his headquarters in source materials are marked with an asterisk.
The Justice Ministry launched the registry on October 23. Its first update contained 12 people. According to TV Rain, the list now holds 22 names, among them Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Michael Nacke, Yevgeny Chichvarkin and Ekaterina Schulmann.
President Vladimir Putin signed the law creating the registry on August 4, and it took effect immediately. The list covers people who have left Russia and were convicted in absentia under any article of the Criminal Code, or who received and failed to serve sentences under a range of Administrative Code articles, including those on "foreign agents" and on "discrediting" the army.
Those on the registry, Mediazona reported, face restrictions on registering real estate, accessing government services online, using Russian banks' apps and websites, and receiving some consular services and electronic signatures. 7x7 adds that they are barred from disposing of property in Russia, consulting notaries and registering businesses.
Lawyers for First Department, cited by TV Rain, called the law effectively a bill on "deprivation of citizenship."
