The Ostankinsky District Court of Moscow received materials from an administrative case on the absence of a “foreign agent” marking in publications (part 4 of Article 19.34 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) against the writer Dmitry Glukhovsky. Mediazona drew attention to the case card in the database of the capital's courts.
According to the information on the court's website, the materials were registered today. The date of the hearing on the administrative case has not yet been set.
Over the past week, similar protocols have been drawn up against the sociologist Viktor Vakhshtein and the libertarian Mikhail Svetov.
The Ministry of Justice recognized Dmitry Glukhovsky as a «foreign agent» in early October. In winter, Moscow libraries refused to accept the writer's books, and in March the HSE leadership demanded that they be removed from the university's book depository.
In the summer, the writer was arrested in absentia and tried in the case of military «fakes» (Part 2 of Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code). The reason was the post “WAR AGAINST RUSSIA”, which he published on April 6 last year on Instagram.
