This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sept 2 (Reuters) - Russian authorities on Friday designated Nobel Prize-winning journalist Dmitry Muratov as a "foreign agent," a move often aimed at critics of Kremlin policies.
While Muratov is still in Russia, many on the list have left the country since the February 2021 invasion of Ukraine, dubbed a "special military operation" by the Kremlin.
Those deemed foreign agents must mark their published work with a disclaimer noting their status.
Novaya Gazeta and Muratov earned a reputation abroad for investigative reporting that was often critical of the Kremlin.
Muratov later put his Nobel medal up for auction, saying the $103.5 million proceeds would be used to aid refugee children from Ukraine.
Novaya Gazeta suspended publication in 2022 in response to legislation imposing harsh penalties for discrediting the Ukraine military operation and Russian soldiers.
