The Ministry of Justice of Russia recognized Poperechny as a foreign agent on July 14. The comedian was a respondent on the information platform provided by the foreign agent. In addition, he opposed the special operation of the Russian Federation to protect Donbass, disseminated inaccurate information to form a negative image of Russia, as well as the Armed Forces (AF) of the Russian Federation. The blogger also received support from foreign sources and created foreign agent materials for an unlimited number of people.
