Fine of 60,000 imposed on Slepakov for lacking designation as foreign agent

In a recent development, Semen Slepakov, a well-known Russian comedian, has been fined 60,000 rubles by a Moscow court. The fine is a doubled amount of an earlier 30,000 ruble fine due to late payment. This penalty was imposed for Slepakov's failure to mark his internet publications as those of a foreign agent, an offense he was previously convicted of.

The original 30,000 ruble fine was imposed by a court in Moscow back in June 2024. Slepakov was recognized as a foreign agent in Russia, a status that requires individuals receiving funding from foreign sources to label their media as such.

Meanwhile, in a surprising turn of events, the governor of the Samara region, Vyacheslav Fedorychev, has extended an invitation to Crimea.155, a controversial rapper, for a "man-to-man" talk. This invitation is in response to an incident involving Crimea.155, who reportedly insulted Elena Mizulina, a Russian politician.

It's important to note that the context does not provide information about the platform(s) where the incident occurred or any potential consequences for Crimea.155 following the invitation. The discussion is not mentioned to be related to any legal consequences for Crimea.155.

RIA Novosti reported the court's decision regarding Semen Slepakov, confirming his guilt of an administrative offense. The governor's invitation to Crimea.155, however, does not seem to be related to any legal proceedings or fines mentioned earlier.

In light of these events, Governor Fedorychev also plans to discuss the incident with Crimea.155. The exact nature of this discussion remains unclear at this point.
