MOSCOW, February 26 Head of the Safe Internet League Ekaterina Mizulina said that rapper Morgenstern* has no obstacles to returning to Russia, but that he doesn't, «probably his personal choice.»
In her Telegram channel, she published a video from a meeting with schoolchildren and students in Tyumen.

"This performer is recognized as a foreign agent on the territory of our country, I could not help but make this reservation in a wide audience . There are no restrictions on entry into our country for foreign agents. The fact that this person does not come to Russia is probably his personal choice,” Mizulina said.
Morgenstern was included in the register of foreign agents in May 2022. He later appealed the decision of the Ministry of Justice, but the court sided with the department. Russian courts imposed fines on the rapper for failure to indicate his status as a foreign agent in publications on the Internet, as well as for failure to submit a declaration of income and expenses to the Ministry of Justice, as required by law. For repeated violations of the law on the activities of foreign agents, Morgenstern may face criminal liability.
