Aauthorities accuse Zhanna Nemtsova, criticism of the Kremlin, of participating in activities of “desirable” organizations.
Nemtsova, a journalist, is 42 years old and exiled in 2015, shortly after his father was murdered on a bridge in central Moscow, near the Kremlin.
Nemtsova founded an organization with the father's name, which was classified as "undesirable" by Vladimir Putin's regime in 2024.
The same classification was given to the Foundation for Democracy and Liberal Values, in which Nemtsova holds a direct position.
