Russia Adds Opposition Politician Lev Shlosberg to Terrorists and Extremists List After Detention Order

The Yabloko deputy chair is charged under Article 207.3 over a 2022 repost, reflecting rules that allow registry listings before any conviction.

Overview

  • Rosfinmonitoring listed Lev Shlosberg on its federal registry of terrorists and extremists, according to the agency’s website.
  • A Pskov court ordered Shlosberg into pre-trial detention until February 2, 2026 in a case alleging dissemination of false information about the Russian military.
  • Investigators opened the criminal case on December 3 under part 2 of Article 207.3, citing a repost made in February 2022, and reporting has not specified the repost’s content.
  • On November 5, a Pskov court sentenced Shlosberg to 420 hours of compulsory work for violations related to his 'foreign agent' designation.
  • Since June 1, rules permit adding those accused under the 'fakes' statute to official registries before any court ruling, a provision now applied in Shlosberg’s case.
