Source excerpt
An anti-war politician who tried to challenge Vladimir Putin at the last Russian presidential election says he has fled the country after Moscow declared him a "foreign agent" last month.
Boris Nadezhdin posted a video standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Nadezhdin, 63, came to prominence two years ago when he tried to stand for the presidency on an anti-war platform, but was barred because electoral authorities ruled signatures he had submitted were flawed.
He was designated a "foreign agent" by the justice ministry last month after saying he would run as a candidate in September's Duma (parliamentary) elections.
