Надеждину запрещено избираться. Москалёвы получили убежище. Влияние на выборы в США.

Nadezhdin is barred from running. The Moskalyovs have been granted asylum. Influence on US elections.

You’re watching news from the weekly rally in front of the Russian Embassy in Lisbon. Today is July 18th, 2:30 PM.

On July 17, the Dolgoprudny Court fined politician Boris Nadezhdin 1,000 rubles for "displaying extremist symbols." The case stemmed from a photo of Navalny that appeared for about 10 seconds in a livestream by politician Elvira Vikhareva, a link to which Nadezhdin posted on his Telegram channel in 2023. Until his detention, he was actively collecting signatures to run in September elections for the State Duma and the Moscow Regional Duma, but the charge on which he was convicted bars him from seeking office this year. An ambulance was called for him during the trial after his blood pressure rose to 200/120. "I'll just die here, you understand—I'll drop dead if I have to sit in a stuffy cell. And I won't be able to pay the fine, unfortunately: all my accounts have been frozen," the politician said at the court hearing. He plans to appeal the ruling.

And some good news:

On July 17, the anti-war initiative inTransit said on its Telegram channel that Alexei and Masha Moskalyov had been granted political asylum in France. inTransit specialists handled their case starting with their humanitarian visa application. The family waited about 10 months for a decision under Germany's humanitarian program and, after receiving no response, applied for a French visa in January 2026. It was approved in March, and the Moskalyovs arrived in France in late March and applied for asylum. Their interview took place June 9, and they received a positive decision July 17.

On July 16, the White House released election-related documents from the CIA, FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, compiled by the Government Transparency Task Force.

In September 2024, the threat research company Graphika published a report on Operation Spamouflage. Graphika found several Chinese state-linked accounts on the social media platforms X and TikTok posing as American voters, smearing candidates from both parties and inflaming divisive social issues. The goal, according to Graphika, was to portray the United States as a declining power with weak leaders and a collapsing system.
