"Fair Russia—For Truth" has expelled Shein following his designation as a foreign agent.

The Presidium of the Central Council of "Just Russia—For Truth" (JRFT) has expelled former State Duma deputy Oleg Shein from the party. This decision follows the Ministry of Justice's inclusion of Shein in the foreign agents registry on November 22. The press release cites the politician's "public rhetoric" since 2022 and his designation as a foreign agent as reasons for his expulsion.
«Справедливая Россия—За правду» исключила Шеина после его признания иностранным агентом.

“The continued presence of Oleg Shein (listed in the foreign agents registry — "Ъ") within the party and in the leadership of the Astrakhan regional branch discredits the party and harms its political interests,” states a statement from the SRZP.

The press release notes that the party leadership did not support Mr. Shein's (listed in the foreign agents registry) condemnation of Russia's foreign policy. In June, the former State Duma deputy received a “stern reprimand for his public stance on social media that discredited the party.” At the SRZP congress, he was removed from the central council of the party.
