Russia adds people linked to late opposition politician Navalny to list of ‘extremists and terrorists’

MOSCOW 

Authorities in Moscow on Friday added several people affiliated with the late Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny to a list of “terrorists and extremists.”

The names of Navalny’s press secretary, Kira Yarmysh, an employee of Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation, Maria Pevchikh, and lawyers Olga Mikhailovna and Alexander Fedulov appeared on the blacklist of the Russian Financial Monitoring Service, or Rosfinmonitoring.

All of the blacklisted people are currently living abroad, but they are accused of being involved in activities that are detrimental to the Russian Federation.

Alexey Navalny died in prison in 2023 after being convicted on multiple charges that the West widely regards as politically motivated.

• Kira Yarmysh
• Rosfinmonitoring.
