Anzor Maskhadov Added to "Foreign Agent" List

The Russian Ministry of Justice has added Anzor Maskhadov, son of Aslan Maskhadov, President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria (ChRI), to its register of foreign agents. Novaya Gazeta reported that the younger Maskhadov is a Norwegian citizen.

According to the Ministry of Justice, the basis for Anzor Maskhadov's inclusion on the register was his alleged dissemination of false information about Russian government policies and criticism of the actions of the Russian Armed Forces, as well as his participation in the activities of an organization deemed undesirable in Russia.

On January 27, 1997, Aslan Maskhadov was proclaimed President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria (CRI), receiving 59.3% of the vote. The results of the presidential election were recognized by Russia, the OSCE, the Council of Europe, the PACE, and the European Parliament.
