stopthatgirl7Russia labels Nobel-winning journalist 'foreign agent'
Russian authorities on Friday designated Nobel Prize-winning journalist Dmitry Muratov as a "foreign agent," a move often aimed at critics of Kremlin policies.
xuxebikoI'm still angry at the Nobel Prize committee for inviting Russia to this year's ceremony and giving an ego boost to Russian imperialism.
They have rescinded the invitation now.
Iran, Belarus and Russia are no longer invited.
We recognize the strong reactions in Sweden, which completely overshadowed this message.
Their pandering to Putin got called out and to coverup they're blaming people for reacting negatively. Its the "I'm sorry your feelings are hurt" non-apology
Maybe. It’s weird because they want Russia represented due to human rights activists there could eligible for recognition, but these activists would almost certainly always be working against the government and therefore inviting ambassadors, who are government representatives, feels like a really odd decision.
