The Ministry of Internal Affairs has re-announced the search for the ex-participant of "What? Where? When?" by Rovshan Askerov

A former participant in the TV game "What? Where? When?" Rovshan Askerov (recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation and included in the list of extremists and terrorists by Rosfinmonitoring) is re-wanted in the case of the rehabilitation of Nazism. This is evidenced by a card from the search database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

"The search is being conducted in accordance with the established procedure using the media," the agency's website says.

Askerov was first put on the wanted list on May 11, 2022.

A criminal case on the rehabilitation of Nazism (Part 4 of Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) against Askerov was opened on April 27 of the same year. It was established that he posted deliberately false information on Facebook (banned in the Russian Federation, owned by the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation) discrediting the name of the Russian commander and defender of the Fatherland, Marshal of the USSR Georgy Zhukov. The recording appeared no later than April 6, the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia noted. In May, Askerov was arrested in absentia.

The journalist was added to the register of foreign agents in December 2022. In January 2025, Askerov was added to the list of terrorists and extremists.
