Case Description

In Rostov-on-Don in January 2019, a criminal case was opened against Anastasia Shevchenko. She was accused of carrying out activities of an "undesirable" organization. On January 21, 2019, she was detained. According to the investigation, Shevchenko, having previously been twice brought to administrative responsibility for participating in the activities of "Open Russia", continued it by taking part in a meeting of the organization in Ulyanovsk on September 27, 2018, and in a rally in Rostov-on-Don on October 28, 2018. January 23, 2019, the Leninsky District Court of Rostov-on-Don placed Anastasia Shevchenko under house arrest. On February 18, 2021, her measure of restraint was changed to a written undertaking not to leave. On February 18, 2021, the Oktyabrsky District Court of Rostov-on-Don found Anastasia Shevchenko guilty and sentenced her in absentia to 3 years of imprisonment with a probationary period of 3 years. In August 2022, Shevchenko left Russia. In September 2022, she was put on the wanted list. On May 6, 2025, Rosfinmonitoring included Anastasia Shevchenko in the list of terrorists and extremists as being involved in a crime of a terrorist nature. It is unknown under which article a case was opened against her. On February 7, 2025, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation included Shevchenko in the register of foreign agents. In October 2025, the FSB of Russia opened a criminal case against Mikhail Khodorkovsky and members of the 'Anti-War Committee of Russia'. The list of individuals includes Mikhail Kasyanov, Marat Gelman, Leonid Gozman, Vladimir Kara-Murza, Sergey Aleksashenko, Dmitry Gudkov, Sergey Guriev, Boris Zimin, Yevgeny Chichvarkin, Yevgeny Kiselyov, Mikhail Kokorich, Yevgeny Kunin, Elena Lukyanova, Yuri Pivorov, Konstantin Chumakov, Anastasia Shevchenko, Viktor Shenderovich, Garry Kasparov, Kirill Martynov, Maxim Reznik, Artur Smolyaninov, and Ekaterina Shulman. The defendants are accused of violent seizure of power, as well as organizing a terrorist community and participating in it. Separately, Mikhail Khodorkovsky is accused of public calls for terrorist activity. According to the investigation, the aforementioned individuals established the "Anti-War Committee of Russia" movement in February 2022 with the aim of forcibly seizing power and changing the constitutional order in the Russian Federation. 30 April 2023 in Berlin, the movement adopted a founding document - the 'Berlin Declaration', which stated the need to liquidate the current authorities in Russia. In October 2025, with the participation of the movement in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, a "platform of Russian democratic forces" was created, which Mikhail Khodorkovsky positions to Western countries as a "constituent assembly of the transitional period" and an alternative to the bodies of power of the Russian Federation. Also, according to the investigation, Khodorkovsky and other founders of 'AKR' finance Ukrainian paramilitary units that are recognized as terrorist organizations in Russia and recruit people into them for the subsequent seizure of power in Russia.
