Russia adds journalist Alexander Nevzorov to federal register of ‘terrorists and extremists’
Rosfinmonitoring, Russia’s financial monitoring agency, has added journalist and commentator Alexander Nevzorov to its list of “terrorists and extremists.”
In Russia, journalist and commentator Alexander Nevzorov has been added to the federal register of "terrorists and extremists" by Rosfinmonitoring, the country's financial monitoring agency. Nevzorov, who left Russia before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, was previously designated as a "foreign agent" in 2022 and sentenced in absentia to eight years in prison in 2023 for spreading "fake news" about the military.
The couple, Nevzorov and his wife Lydia, were also declared an "extremist association" and added to the terrorist and extremist registry. Authorities opened a criminal investigation into the couple in spring 2025 for allegedly financing extremism by collecting donations for themselves.
