俄罗斯反战政治家鲍里斯·纳德日金已逃离俄罗斯，前往巴黎。[1][2]纳德日金曾在2024年俄罗斯总统选举中试图以反战纲领参选，但遭选委会以签名存在瑕疵为由拒绝。[2]此后，他因被指控传播虚假信息和展示极端主义符号而遭到一系列法律制裁。[2]
司法部门上月宣布纳德日金为"外国代理人"身份，随后他因极端主义相关行政控罪被禁止参加9月份的国家杜马议会选举。[1][2]纳德日金在巴黎埃菲尔铁塔前发布视频称："我有个好消息。我活着，也是自由的。遗憾的是，我暂时不在俄罗斯。"[2]据报道，他上月曾被短暂拘留。[1]对于极端主义符号的指控，检控部门将其与纳德日金社交媒体账户2023年11月转发的一段视频相关联，该视频中出现了已故反对派领导人阿列克谢·纳瓦尔尼的图像，时长约10秒。[2]
纳德日金持续反对乌克兰战争的立场使其成为克里姆林宫的不稳定因素。[1]这一逃亡事件发生在俄罗斯加强打击异议的背景下——自2022年乌克兰遭全面入侵以来，该国启动了前所未有的异议人士镇压运动。[1]
Boris Nadezhdin, a prominent Russian anti-war politician, has fled Russia and traveled to Paris following a government crackdown on political dissent.[1][2] Nadezhdin announced his departure in a video recorded at the Eiffel Tower, stating "Good news: I'm alive and free. Unfortunately, I'm not in Russia for the time being."[2]
The escape marks an escalation in pressure against Nadezhdin, who had attempted to run for president in 2024 on an anti-war platform but was barred from the ballot by the electoral commission, which cited signature irregularities.[2] Following his exclusion from the presidential race, he faced a series of legal obstacles designed to sideline him from electoral politics. The Justice Ministry designated him a "foreign agent" last month,[1][2] and he was subsequently prohibited from running in September's parliamentary elections due to administrative charges related to extremism.[1]
Among the allegations against Nadezhdin were charges of spreading false information about the Russian government and calling for unauthorized public gatherings.[2] Authorities also accused him of displaying extremist symbols, citing a video reposted on his social media account in November 2023 that contained a ten-second image of deceased opposition leader Alexei Navalny.[2] Nadezhdin was also briefly detained in recent months prior to his departure.[1] His flight to France underscores the intensifying crackdown on dissent in Russia that began following the country's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.[1]
