The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has put on the wanted list the editor of the publication DOXA, recognized in Russia as a foreign agent and an undesirable organization, Maria Menshikova, it follows from the department’s database.
“Menshikova Maria Aleksandrovna, March 17, 1994. Grounds for the search: wanted under an article of the Criminal Code,” according to the search database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
The criminal article under which she is prosecuted and put on the wanted list is not specified.
Earlier, a RIA Novosti source in law enforcement agencies reported that Menshikova published an entry in the “DOXA Magazine” community on VKontakte, which, according to law enforcement officers, justifies terrorism. A criminal case has been initiated against the editor under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The DOXA project (translated from Greek as “opinion”) began as a student magazine “about the realities of a modern university” – the problems of students and teachers, and university politics. Later, as the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov stated, DOXA became a socio-political publication – “there are few purely student issues”. DOXA takes a radical anti-Russian position in the context of the Northern Military District.
The employees of DOXA have already had problems with the law in Russia. In April 2022, a Moscow court sentenced four editors of DOXA to correctional labor for involving teenagers in uncoordinated actions in support of Alexei Navalny. Subsequently, they hid from the justice authorities and were put on the wanted list.
