Vitaly Reznikov, a resident of Astrakhan, was added to Rosfinmonitoring's register of extremists and terrorists on 26 June 2026. A month later, on 27 July, the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that a criminal case had been opened against him on charges of financing the activities of an extremist organisation under Part 1 of Article 282.3 of the Russian Criminal Code.
