Prominent French journalist and author Anne Nivat was expelled from Russia based on an alleged violation of her visa status. Russian immigration officials in the provincial town of Vladimir detained her and gave her three days to leave the country. Officials who questioned her made clear that her meetings with opposition politicians were undesirable. However, Konstantin Romodanovsky, of Russia’s Federal Migration Service, has not ruled out the possibility that the officials may change their mind: “Preliminary facts show that the decision was wrong. Perhaps, it will be overturned.”
