The Ministry of Internal Affairs has put Russian political scientist Fyodor Krasheninnikov on the wanted list. Information about this appeared in the department's database, and Mediazona drew attention to it.
The wanted list card states that Krasheninnikov is wanted under a criminal article. It is unknown which article exactly.
In September 2022, the Ministry of Justice declared Krasheninnikov a «foreign agent.» The department then reported that the political scientist was included in the register due to «foreign financing» from Ukraine and participation in political activities.
According to Krasheninnikov, a criminal case has been opened against him on evading the duties of a «foreign agent». At the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, he was fined twice for 10 thousand rubles under protocols on violating the procedure for the activities of a «foreign agent»..
In 2021, a criminal case was opened against Krasheninnikov on slander against veteran Ignat Artemenko due to two posts in the political scientist's Telegram channel. In December of the following year, the case was closed because the police were unable to gather evidence of Krashennikov's involvement in insulting the veteran.
«There are no more denunciations, there is nothing.» Political scientist Krasheninnikov called the trial for slander against the veteran a «farce» and himself became a defendant in the case for slander against the veteran
