Extremist with criminal records: Nevzorov, who received a passport of Ukraine * decided on his homeland

Former Russian journalist Alexander Nevzorov❶ (recognized, together with his wife Lydia, as an extremist association banned in Russia Russia) He no longer considers Russia his homeland. He stated this in an interview with journalist and blogger Yuri Dudu❶, which is available on YouTube.

"I'm not sure I'm a product of Russia. Having found myself and lived here for these years (after receiving a Ukrainian passport, Nevzorov lives in Italy), I understand that, in general, my homeland is here, in Western culture, in Western science," he said.

Once again, he stated that, in his opinion, almost all culture is Western, and Russian culture does not exist.

He added that if Russia were his homeland, he would have taken a high position.

"And I ended up here, with a criminal record, declared a terrorist and an extremist," Nevzorov concluded❶.

As EADaily reported, in April 2023, the Ministry of Justice added Nevzorov❶ to the register of foreign agents. At that time, the journalist was already outside of Russia, having later received Ukrainian citizenship. Of course, Nevzorov❶ does not live on Ukraine, having moved to one of the European countries.

Earlier, Nevzorov ❶ was fined three times for violations under the law on the activities of foreign agents — by 20 thousand and twice by 40 thousand rubles.

In February of the same year, the Basmanny District Court of Moscow sentenced a journalist in absentia to eight years in prison in the case of fakes about the Russian army.

In April 2024, a second criminal case was opened against Nevzorov❶ for failure to fulfill the duties of a foreign agent. Presumably, the reason was Nevzorov's ignoring the need to add a foreign agent plate to each publication in social networks.

In July 2024, the Oktyabrsky District Court of St. Petersburg recognized Nevzorov❶ and his wife Lydia as an extremist association whose activities are prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation.
