Khoroshilov Artem Leonidovich
Artem Khoroshilov is a Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and a researcher at the General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (part of the Federal Research Center). He was detained in December 2023, nearly a year after his apartment was first searched. Khoroshilov was initially charged with using malicious computer software; a charge of high treason was subsequently added, followed—almost another year later—by charges of preparing for an act of sabotage and the illegal manufacture of explosives. In December 2025, Khoroshilov was sentenced to 21 years of imprisonment.
