Russian authorities on June 27 added Artyom Kriger, a journalist with the independent SotaVision Telegram channel, to the list of terrorists and extremists. The 23-year-old was arrested last week for cooperation with the team of late opposition leader Aleksei Navalny, which was labeled extremist and banned in Russia in 2021. Kriger is known for interviews with Russian politicians. In May 2023, his uncle, Mikhail Kriger, was sentenced to seven years in prison on a charge of justifying terrorism, which he and his supporters reject as politically motivated.
