Russian journalist and YouTuber Yury Dud is now on the state’s ‘terrorist and extremist’ registry. What does that mean legally for his audience?

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from Meduza [en] · Eastern Europe

Yury Dud has been added to the Federal Financial Monitoring Service’s list, with an asterisk next to his name. The asterisk usually means authorities have opened a criminal investigation under a “terrorism” statute. The details of any such investigation remain unknown, but Dud is effectively barred from operating in Russia, and others could face prosecution for engaging with his content.
