Russia's Interior Ministry has added exiled Kremlin critic and ex-tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky to its wanted list on a charge of distributing "fakes" about Russian armed forces involved in Moscow's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The charge stems from Khodorkovsky's online posts about Russian troop casualties in the war. In 2015, Khodorkovsky, who spent 10 years in jail before he was released in 2013, was added to the wanted list for his alleged involvement in the 1998 killing of a Siberian mayor, a charge Khodorkovsky rejected. Khodorkovsky's name disappeared from the wanted list for that alleged crime sometime later. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Russian Service, click here.
