Boris Nadezhdin, Russia’s most prominent anti-war politician, has fled the country after being labeled a “foreign agent” and barred from running in parliamentary elections. Posting from Paris, he confirmed he’s safe but uncertain about his next steps, as authorities intensified pressure—including fines and police questioning—for his outspoken criticism of the war. His departure marks another blow to domestic dissent, as many opposition figures are now either imprisoned or exiled. Once a candidate for president in 2024, Nadezhdin’s exit underscores the Kremlin’s escalating crackdown on dissent since the Ukraine conflict began, while pro-Kremlin voices defend censorship as essential for national unity against Western threats.
