Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has opened a criminal case against exiled Russian businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky and 22 other members of the Russian Antiwar Committee (RAC) for "involvement in a terrorist community" and "attempting to seize power by force".
Novaya Gazeta Europe, 14 October 2025
According to FSB, the goal of the RAC, which was established by Khodorkovsky in 2022, is “the violent seizure of power and the overthrow of the constitutional order in Russia”.
According to FSB, Khodorkovsky and his allies, including former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov, and opposition activists Vladimir Kara-Murza and Andrey Pivovarov,
“...provide funding to Ukrainian nationalist paramilitary units, designated as terrorist groups by Russia, and also conduct recruiting activities… for these units for their subsequent use in their plot of a forceful seizure of power in the Russia.”
