In five regions across the Russian Federation, investigations are taking place at the residences of individuals connected to a group calling itself the Congress of People’s Deputies, founded by politician Ilya Ponomarev, who is labeled a foreign agent in Russia. This information was reported by leading Telegram channels known for breaking political news.
Investigative actions are ongoing at the homes of figures affiliated with the Yabloko party, including Galina Filchenko, Nodari Khananashvili, and Mikhail Lobanov, who is an associate professor at Moscow State University and a candidate for the Communist Party. Authorities indicate that these individuals were directly involved in Congress meetings, including sessions where a proposed new constitution for Russia was reportedly adopted.
The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation has classified the organization calling itself the Congress of People’s Deputies as undesirable in the country. Officials emphasize that one of the stated aims of this group is the forcible capture of political power in Russia, a claim that has fueled official scrutiny.
It should be noted that the organization is designated as undesirable within the Russian Federation, reflecting the government’s stance on groups it considers a threat to public order and constitutional governance.
