Russia put Meduza journalist and podcast host Vladislav Gorin on its wanted list. The basis for his criminal case? ‘Disseminating informational materials about political and social processes.’
Russia’s Interior Ministry has put Vladislav Gorin, a Meduza journalist and the host of the podcast “Chto sluchilos” (“What Happened”), on its wanted list, Mediazona reported.
Russia's Interior Ministry has added Meduza journalist and podcast host Vladislav Gorin to its wanted list, according to Mediazona. The basis for this action stems from Gorin's participation in the activities of an "undesirable organization," as detailed in Part 1 of Article 284.1 of the Criminal Code. This case was initiated in June, following the publication of six audio recordings in August, September, October, and November 2025.
The Investigative Committee alleged that Gorin disseminated informational materials about political and social processes occurring within the Russian Federation. Meduza's editor-in-chief, Ivan Kolpakov, issued a statement emphasizing the newspaper's commitment to transparency regarding the use of artificial intelligence in their newsroom.
