Russia Adds Pro‑War Commentator Tatiana Montyan to Terrorist and Extremist List

The designation effectively cuts her off from most financial services and formal public activity.

Overview

  • Rosfinmonitoring listed Montyan on October 26–27, triggering account blocks and broad legal restrictions for those designated.
  • Montyan says FSB officers searched her home, seized her devices, and placed her under a travel ban, while authorities have not publicly specified charges.
  • Reports note she appears in a registry for individuals facing cases under extremism or terrorism articles, but the specific statute has not been disclosed.
  • According to Montyan, investigators cited a 2022 post in which she used a phrase urging violence against pro‑government ‘guardians’ as the basis for the case.
  • A Crimea‑born lawyer and RT columnist, Montyan is a prominent pro‑war blogger who faces a Ukrainian criminal case and 2025 sanctions, and she has recently been targeted by complaints and accusations from pro‑Kremlin media figures.
