Yury Dud has been added to the Federal Financial Monitoring Service’s list, with an asterisk next to his name. The asterisk usually means authorities have opened a criminal investigation under a “terrorism” statute. The details of any such investigation remain unknown, but Dud is effectively barred from operating in Russia, and others could face prosecution for engaging with his content.
