The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has put the writer Boris Akunin on the wanted list, who is on the “list of terrorists and extremists.”

Recently, a case was opened against Akunin under articles of justifying terrorism and “fake news” in relation to the Russian army.
The night will get darker. But then it’s still dawn,” he himself commented on the news.
Akunin publicly condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Since 2014, he and his family have been living abroad.
In December 2023, it became known that his books began to be confiscated from Russian stores. It is believed that the reason for initiating a criminal case against Boris Akunin was the writer’s statements, which forced him to deceive the pro-Kremlin “pranksters” Vovan and Lexus. In a conversation with the writer, the “prankers” introduced themselves as representatives of the Ukrainian authorities, and Akunin, speaking about the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strikes on Russian territories, said:
My heart bleeds, but I completely understand that… How could it be otherwise?
On January 12, the Ministry of Justice declared Akunin a “foreign agent.”
