Roskomnadzor attempted to fine the Sibirsky Khleborob newspaper for an article about a boar named after Maxim Galkin.
Yenisei Office of Roskomnadzor noticed a violation in an article about pig farming published in the newspaper "Siberian Grain Grower" (city of Uzhur, Krasnoyarsk Krai). The publication mentioned boar Maxim, named after Maxim Galkin, but it was not stated that Galkin is a "foreign agent." The situation attracted attention "Agency".
A Roskomnadzor expert named Sidlyarova drew up an administrative protocol against the newspaper’s editorial office for the absence of the “foreign agent” marking (Part 2.1 of Article 13.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), stating that "information about a foreign agent included in the register of foreign agents was disseminated without indicating the status of a foreign agent".
But Judge of the Uzhur District Court Anton Semenov came to the conclusion that the article “was dedicated to the activities of the pig farm, and not to… Maxim Aleksandrovich Galkin” and terminated the proceedings due to the lack of evidence of an offense.
Roskomnadzor appealed the judge's decision, and the case was remanded for a new trial. There is no information about the outcome on the district court's website.
Now on the website of the Siberian Bread Grower there are already there is a mark about Galkin being recognized as a “foreign agent”:
"Every sow farmer in the group has her favorites. They say they all know each other by sight, they all have different faces. This one has a drooping ear, that one sticks out. This one has a longer tail, that one has a shorter one, that one has a special spot... All the boars have names. The favorite name is Vanya, and the test boar is always Slava for some reason. There's Narcissus, there was a wonderful boar named Krasavchik, Maxim - in honor of Maxim Galkin (recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation).
