What are the immediate consequences if Ivan Urgant is designated a "foreign agent" under Russia's 2022 law?

The Russian Justice Ministry is reviewing whether to label Ivan Urgant, a former talk show host, as a "foreign agent" due to allegations of "foreign influence," stemming from his reported registration as an individual entrepreneur in France. This follows a request from a lawmaker and is part of Russia's 2022 law targeting perceived enemies of the state. Urgant denies the report and faces potential financial reporting burdens and legal repercussions if designated.
