Boris Nadezhdin, who ran for president of Russia against Vladimir Putin in 2024 and was disqualified by the Central Election Commission, has been officially designated a 'foreign agent.' Nadezhdin recently submitted documents to the Central Election Commission to run in parliamentary elections expected later this year, but the designation labeling him as representing foreign interests will prevent him from running in these elections as well. Nadezhdin is considered a supporter of ending the war in Ukraine.
