拉格津是一名持有拉脱维亚居留许可的俄罗斯记者，他表示，由于他在乌克兰战争问题上发表的一系列言论引发争议，拉脱维亚已将其列为不受欢迎人物。
Ragozin, a Russian journalist with a Latvian residency permit, said the Baltic country has declared him persona non grata following a controversy over a series of comments about the war in Ukraine.
拉格津在周三于社交媒体平台X上写道，拉脱维亚外交部的决定是“为了在拉脱维亚司法体系中剥夺我的正义”，因为这种 designation 在法律上更难被挑战。他声称该决定是对他之前所写报道的报复。
The Latvian Foreign Ministry’s decision was made “in order to deny me justice in the Latvian court system,” Ragozin wrote on the social media site X on Wednesday, as such a designation is harder to challenge legally. He claimed the decision was made in revenge for previous stories he’d written.
拉脱维亚外交部本月早些时候表示，已将一名未具名的俄罗斯公民列入不受欢迎人物名单，但拒绝透露决定的原因。当时的外交部长拜巴·布拉泽表示，她正在根据“主管部门”的信息启动程序。拉格津曾为BBC工作，并为《政治》和《彭博商业周刊》撰稿，他在拉脱维亚已居住超过十年。他因在社交媒体上就俄罗斯入侵乌克兰发表的采访和评论而激怒了一些人。
Latvia’s Foreign Ministry said earlier this month it placed an unidentified Russian citizen on its persona non grata list, but declined to give reasons for the decision. Foreign Minister Baiba Braze said at the time that she was initiating proceedings after receiving information from “competent authorities.”Ragozin, who has worked for the BBC and contributed to Politico and Bloomberg Businessweek, has lived in Latvia for more than a decade. He angered some for his interviews and comments on social media about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
内政部扬尼斯·东布拉瓦本月早些时候表示，拉格津长期发表的言论“服务于俄罗斯利益”。作为欧盟和北约成员国的波罗的海国家，拉脱维亚对其认为的任何支持全面入侵和莫斯科宣传的迹象采取了强硬立场。2022年，拉脱维亚媒体监管机构在一名主持人似乎倡导向在乌克兰作战的动员俄罗斯军队运送物资后，吊销了俄罗斯最著名独立电视台“雨电视”的运营许可证。
Interior Minister Janis Dombrava said earlier this month that Ragozin has had a long track record of comments that “served Russian interests.”The Baltic country, a member of the European Union and NATO, has taken a hard line on what it perceives as any signs of support for the full-scale invasion and Moscow propaganda. In 2022, Latvia’s media regulator revoked the operating license for Russia’s most prominent independent TV channel, TV Rain, after an anchor appeared to advocate sending supplies to mobilized Russian troops fighting in Ukraine.
