On the deputy of the Komi State Council from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Viktor Vorobyov amounted to four protocols on the absence of the “foreign agent” marking in publications (part 4 of article 19.34 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). The materials were received by the Syktyvkar City Court of Komi, Kommersant paid attention to them. Two protocols on Vorobyov will be considered on June 5, two more on June 21. According to Kommersant, he is charged with the absence of a “foreign agent” badge on the forms of deputy requests. Vorobyov explained to the publication that he did not mark the deputy requests that he sent to the Komi prosecutor’s office and the republican department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In his opinion, such documents fall under subject to the law on “foreign agents”. “The right to a deputy’s request is one of the guarantees of deputy activity, which is enshrined in the law of the republic “On the status of a deputy”, and the request itself is its form and therefore cannot be recognized as media material,” Vorobyov commented on the protocols drawn up on him. At the end of May, Mediazona found out that three similar protocols on the absence of marking as a “foreign agent” were drawn up against the deputy of the Moscow City Duma from Yabloko, Daria Besedina. According to Kommersant, they are also connected with deputy requests. The publication adds that due to the tightening of the legislation on foreign agents and the introduction in December last year of criminal liability for its repeated violation (Part 2 of Article 330.1 of the Criminal Code), Vorobyov and Besedina may face early termination of their parliamentary powers. An unnamed interlocutor of Kommersant in the Komi State Council called such a scenario realistic. “In case of repeated violation and prosecution, there is a risk of initiating a criminal case. In this case, we will be forced to initiate the issue of depriving Vorobyov of his mandate, ”a Kommersant source said. The Ministry of Justice declared Besedina a “foreign agent” in January 2023, and Vorobyov in April 2022. The deputy of the Moscow City Duma, according to the department, “participated in the creation and distribution of materials of foreign agents”, “spoke out against the special military operation” and “propaganda of LGBT relations”. Vorobyov got into the register for the return of money for a train ticket in London and a fee from Memorial.
