Agence France-Presse: Russia’s ‘foreign agent’ reporters navigate ‘absurd’ rules
Russian journalist Yelizaveta Mayetnaya, 47, shows a text message on her laptop screen that she has to write on each of her social media posts: " This message was created and/or published by a media fulfilling the function of a foreign agent " during an interview with AFP, in Moscow on Oct. 15, 2021. - Since she's being branded a "foreign agent" by authorities this year, Mayetnaya is obliged to add the disclaimer to each and every one of her social media posts, whether they're part of her reporting or a picture of her dog digging through autumn leaves.
