Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, as part of his speech at the plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club, said that the inclusion in the register of media performing the functions of a foreign agent would not be done in a carpet fashion.
He clarified that the law on foreign media agents is aimed at ensuring that "Russian society knows that a person formulates such and such a position, that is how he relates to internal political processes, but he receives money from abroad."
"Indeed, there are no carpet announcements ... In terms of the vagueness of some of the criteria, the president said yesterday that there is work to do," said a Kremlin spokesman.
According to him, everything happens in accordance with the law, and the recognition as a foreign agent can be challenged through the courts.
“Formally, the department must follow the letter and spirit of this law.
And the law does not say that if we are talking about a small amount, 200 rubles, then you can not pay attention, "- explained Peskov.
The press service of Roskomnadzor said that in 2021 the department drew up 843 protocols due to the lack of labeling by foreign media outlets.
