Reason for recognition
The Ministry of Justice considered a money transfer from a Nigerian citizen, from whose card money was transferred to Vazhenkov for buying a plane ticket, for which he paid with miles, as foreign funding. Work in the public movement for the protection of voters' rights "Golos" was considered as political activity. In 2013, "Golos" was included in the register of non-profit organizations as foreign agents. On 18.08.2021, the Ministry of Justice included "Golos" in the register of "unregistered associations performing the function of a foreign agent". "Golos" was the first in the register.
