Get you up to speed: Russia labels Cannes-winning director Andrey Zvyagintsev a ‘foreign agent’

This announcement was made by the Kremlin on Friday, with the Ministry of Justice alleging that Zvyagintsev disseminated “false information” and has interacted with foreign agents while residing outside Russia.
Andrey Zvyagintsev, who has lived outside Russia since the COVID pandemic, has been designated as a “foreign agent” by the Russian Ministry of Justice for his criticisms of the government’s actions regarding the war in Ukraine.

Acclaimed Russian film director who won 2026 Grand Prix award at Cannes, has been critical of the war in Ukraine.
Published On 18 Sep 202618 Sep 2026
The winner of a prestigious Cannes Film Festival award has been declared a foreign agent by Russian authorities for his criticism of Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
Acclaimed Russian film director Andrey Zvyagintsev was designated a “foreign agent” by the Kremlin on Friday, according to state news agency TASS.
Zvyagintsev won the 2026 Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival for, Minotaur, a film depicting a Russian businessman who is forced to decide which of his employees should be mobilised to go and fight in Ukraine.
“Millions of people on both sides of the front line dream of only one thing: for the massacres to stop,” Zvyagintsev said in his acceptance speech, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin was the only person capable of ending the war.
Moscow has kept casualty numbers from the fighting in Ukraine heavily restricted and has not provided timely or complete public updates, but estimates of Russian soldiers killed in the four-year war range from anywhere from 200,000 to half a million.
Russia’s Ministry of Justice on Friday accused Zvyagintsev of disseminating “false information about decisions taken by the public authorities of the Russian Federation and the policies they pursue”.
“He interacted with foreign agents and resides outside the Russian Federation,” it said.
The 62-year-old director, who has lived outside Russia since the COVID pandemic, is known for a series of other films including, The Return, The Banishment, and, Leviathan, a bleak portrayal of life in rural Russia.
People listed as foreign agents are subjected to onerous bureaucratic requirements and restrictions on their income in Russia.
They are barred from holding public office and forced to register their activities with the authorities.
They also have to add warnings on everything they publish, including on social media, that the content was produced by a foreign agent.
The label adds connotations of espionage to numerous people, including public figures, whom it deems to be engaging in anti-Russian activity with support from abroad.
Previously, writer Boris Akunin and rock musician Boris Grebenshchikov have been labelled as foreign agents by Moscow.
