Viktor Shenderovich

Satirist Shenderovich fled Russia after he was designated as a “foreign agent” in December 2021. He has lived in exile since, but faces continued repression. Reports emerged in 2022 and 2023 that various Russian libraries and booksellers refused to sell his works. He was denied entry to Georgia in June 2023. In November, a Moscow court fined him 50 thousand rubles for violating the foreign agent law.
