The Russian Interior Ministry on February 10 added Aleksandra Garmazhapova, a noted Kremlin critic and the founder of the foundation A Free Buryatia, to its wanted list on unspecified charges. Garmazhapova’s foundation has openly condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and assists men mobilized to the war from their native Siberian region of Buryatia to return. The group also promotes wide autonomy for Buryatia and Russia's other ethnic regions. Russian authorities labeled Garmazhapova "a foreign agent" last fall. She is currently not in Russia.
