Привет Алексей... спасибо за AMA. I have a few questions! Sorry for the barrage!

  1. Are Russian-based advertisers disallowed from hosting ads on Meduza's website as a result of Meduza's registered foreign agent status? Or are advertisers just unwilling to pay for ad space due to the risk of being deemed foreign agents themselves? Confused about that!
  2. To what extent do you think the Russian foreign agent statutes and their implementation are a response to FARA, US/EU sanctions against Russia, and RT/Sputnik's designation as foreign agent in the US? How do the Russian laws/and their implementation differ from FARA?
  3. What is the general attitude of Russian citizens—say, in Moscow or Peter—toward these designations and toward journalist-foreign agents? Do people care? How does state media cover the statutes and their implementation?
