The "by whom" tag is intended for unattributed opinions in the text, not for passive sentences missing an agent. For example, if I were to resolve the "by whom" tag in the following sentence: "Johny Briggs is reported to have been appointed manager of Carlisle United.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Unsupported_attributions" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch"><span title="The material near this tag may use weasel words or too-vague attribution.">by whom?</span></a></i>]</sup>", I would write "The Guardian reported that Johny Briggs was appointed manager of Carlisle United", NOT "Johnny Briggs is reported to have been appointed as manager of Carlisle United by the Carlisle United Board of Directors." </p><p>In the cases you highlighted, the agent was "by the Russian authorities", as stated in the source. In that case, you could simply add the agent yourself without tagging. <a href="/wiki/User:Boynamedsue" title="User:Boynamedsue">Boynamedsue</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Boynamedsue" title="User talk:Boynamedsue">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Johnfreez#c-Boynamedsue-2022-04-25T10:09:00.000Z-By_whom_tags" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:09, 25 April 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Boynamedsue-2022-04-25T10:09:00.000Z-By_whom_tags"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Boynamedsue-2022-04-25T10:09:00.000Z-By_whom_tags"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Johnfreez-2022-04-25T12:25:00.000Z-Boynamedsue-2022-04-25T10:09:00.000Z"></span>so to restate, the "by whom" tag asks for source clarification, not for a missing actor of a phrase in passive voice, got it .. i had read the style guide, but it-went-in-one-ear-and-out-the-other .. thanks for the clarification @<a href="/wiki/User:Boynamedsue" title="User:Boynamedsue">Boynamedsue</a> .. <a href="/wiki/User:Johnfreez" title="User:Johnfreez">Johnfreez</a> (<a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#top">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Johnfreez#c-Johnfreez-2022-04-25T12:25:00.000Z-Boynamedsue-2022-04-25T10:09:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:25, 25 April 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Johnfreez-2022-04-25T12:25:00.000Z-Boynamedsue-2022-04-25T10:09:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Johnfreez-2022-04-25T12:25:00.000Z-Boynamedsue-2022-04-25T10:09:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Boynamedsue-2022-04-25T13:10:00.000Z-Johnfreez-2022-04-25T12:25:00.000Z"></span>Glad to help!
