Reznik Maksim Lvovich

Opposition politician, one of the leaders of the regional Yabloko party, Maxim Reznik, and activist, member of the Yabloko party, Sergey Indenko, were detained in St. Petersburg on the night of March 3, 2008. They left the party office at the very moment when Indenok got into a scuffle with strangers. Reznik started breaking up the fight — and as a result ended up in the police, whose crew happened to be at the scene of the incident. Maxim Reznik was accused of using violence against a government official and insulting a government official. According to the investigation, Reznik, being drunk, publicly insulted police officers, after which he hit one of them in the face with his hand, kicked him in the leg, and grabbed his finger. Sergei Indenko was sent by a magistrate to 3 days of administrative arrest for resisting police officers. After this incident, Indenok left the Yabloko party. The Dzerzhinsky District Court sent Maksim Reznik into custody, where he spent 18 days in a pre-trial detention center. March 21, 2008, the St. Petersburg City Court ruled his arrest illegal and changed the measure of restraint to a written undertaking not to leave. 3 September 2008, the Dzerzhinsky District Court of St. Petersburg terminated the criminal case against Maxim Reznik due to reconciliation of the parties. The court's decision was not appealed and entered into legal force. In June 2021, Maksim Reznik was detained on charges of illegal acquisition of narcotic substances for personal use. According to the investigation, Reznik bought about 18 grams of marijuana through a relative and was supposed to use them personally. On June 18, 2021, the Oktyabrsky District Court of St. Petersburg placed Reznik under house arrest during the investigation. The former deputy himself linked his criminal prosecution to a conflict with Governor Alexander Beglov and an attempt to prevent him from being re-elected to the St. Petersburg parliament in the 21st district. On April 20, 2022, the Oktyabrsky District Court of St. Petersburg found Maxim Reznik guilty and sentenced him to 5 months of imprisonment in a penal colony-settlement with credit for the time spent under house arrest, with actual release in the courtroom. July 7, 2022, the St. Petersburg City Court upheld the sentence. In September 2022, Reznik left Russia. In June 2025, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia announced him wanted, indicating that he was wanted under an article of the Criminal Code, but not specifying the specific article. 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.
