Yegor Zhukov has been removed from the list of “terrorists and extremists.”

Rosfinmonitoring has removed Yegor Zhukov from the list of “terrorists and extremists.” This was reported by Novaya Gazeta Europe, citing information from the agency’s register. The reason for this decision is unknown.

Zhukov had been on the list since September 2019. He was added after being accused of making public calls for extremism (part 2 of article 280 of the Criminal Code).

Zhukov was one of the defendants in the “Moscow Case,” which was launched after protests for the admission of independent candidates to elections to the Moscow City Duma in the summer of 2019. He was initially accused of participating in “mass riots,” but this charge was later dropped and a case was opened over videos on his YouTube channel. In December 2019, a court sentenced Zhukov to a three-year suspended sentence and banned him from administering websites for two years.
