Russia's Justice Ministry has started investigating a museum dedicated to the late President Boris Yeltsin for possible activity as a "foreign agent," stated-owned agency RIA Novosti reported. The Yeltsin Center in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg pays tribute to the life, work, and legacy of Yeltsin, who served as post-Soviet Russia's first president from 1991 to 1999 and designated Vladimir Putin as his chosen successor. The term foreign agent has connotations of spying and has been widely used by Russian authorities against those whom it deems to be conducting anti-state activity with backing from abroad.
