The United States has published a list of Russians who have come under sanctions due to the situation with Alexei Navalny (founder of the Anti-Corruption Fund, included by the Ministry of Justice in the register of organizations performing the functions of a foreign agent) . This is stated on the website of the Ministry of Finance of the country.
Among them are FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov, FSIN head Alexander Kalashnikov, Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Popov, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko, and the head of the Kremlin's internal policy department Andrei Yarin. In addition, the 27th Scientific Center of the Ministry of Defense, the 33rd Central Scientific Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense and the Scientific Research Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology (GosNIIOKhT) fell under the sanctions.
Earlier on March 2, the United States announced the imposition of sanctions against seven high-ranking officials of Russia due to the situation with Alexei Navalny. Before that, the EU imposed sanctions on the Navalny case.
On February 2, the Simonovsky Court of Moscow replaced Navalny's suspended sentence with a real one for violating the conditions for observing the probationary period in the Yves Rocher case. He will stay in the colony for 2 years and 6 months, taking into account the year spent under house arrest during the preliminary investigation. The European Court of Human Rights has demanded that the Russian government release the oppositionist from prison as an interim measure. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the ECHR ruling an attempt to put pressure on Russia.
