🕵️ Russian FSB claims to foil ‘Ukrainian assassination plot’ against propagandist Vladimir Solovyov (3-minute read)

The Russian FSB claims to have foiled an alleged assassination plot against prominent Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov and other state television personalities. According to a statement released on Monday, FSB agents arrested a group of “neo-Nazis” who Ukraine’s Security Service (the SBU) allegedly hired to carry out the murders. Russia’s Investigative Committee also released footage that appears to show FSB agents carrying out raids and arresting the alleged suspects, as well as clips of some of their confessions. The SBU has denied having any plans to assassinate Solovyov.

⚖️ Russian lawmakers draft new ‘foreign agents’ bill (4.5-minute read)

Russian parliamentarians have drawn up a new bill that would combine the country’s various laws on “foreign agents” into a single piece of legislation. The proposed law, titled “On monitoring the activities of individuals under foreign influence,” was submitted to the State Duma on Monday. Notably, under the new bill, anyone who receives financial support from abroad or is “under foreign influence of any kind” can be declared a “foreign agent.” “Affiliated individuals” — including the family members of “foreign agents” — would also be at risk of getting blacklisted.

On Sunday evening, Mariupol cinematographer Olga Novikova wrote in a Facebook post that her son, Alexey, had been taken prisoner — and that his captors were demanding 5,000 euros ($5,356) in return for his release. The kidnappers had contacted Novikova through Alexey’s Facebook account and sent her a video of him being interrogated. They promised to kill Alexey if they didn’t receive the money “by tomorrow.” Read Meduza’s interview with Olga Novikova here.

💐 The story of one Kharkiv couple who got married amid their city’s ruins (10-minute read) 

Inna Boldovskaya

More than 30,000 Ukrainian couples have officially tied the knot since Russia launched its full-scale invasion on February 24. In mid-April, the Ukrainian Justice Ministry simplified the marriage registration process — soldiers can even get married over Zoom now. But one wedding — that of dentist Anton Sokolov and nurse Anastasia Gracheva, both from Kharkiv — has become famous far beyond Ukraine’s borders. Photos of the couple in their wedding outfits in front of the wreckage that now makes up Kharkiv have been shared by media outlets around the world. Meduza spoke with Anastasia Gracheva about she and her husband’s decision to get hitched in wartime — and how they used the wedding to help the war effort.

🎓 Russia’s wartime crackdown on higher education (20-minute read)

The invasion of Ukraine had immediate consequences for Russia’s higher education system. At first, foreign universities opted out of partnerships with Russian ones, teachers were forced to stay in Russia and give lectures “explaining” the war, and state propaganda began spreading stories of Russians being “persecuted” in Western universities. Soon, professors who managed to emigrate were declared “foreign agents,” and anonymous groups on social media began harassing students and university faculty who dared to oppose the war publicly. Together with Komi-based independent news outlet 7×7, Meduza took a close look at how higher education in Russia has changed since February 24.
