The court recognized Khodorkovsky's book "How to kill a Dragon" as extremist

The Moscow City Court recognized the book "How to Kill a Dragon" by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former head of the Yukos Corporation (recognized as a foreign agent, included in the list of extremists and terrorists in the Russian Federation) as extremist. This was reported on January 6 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

Khodorkovsky's book is posted on the Internet, which, according to the court, shows a negative attitude towards the current Russian government and explains the motivation for a violent change of power.

The plaintiff described the book as a "handbook for novice revolutionaries." Khodorkovsky is on the federal wanted list.

On January 27, the Moscow Meshchanskaya interdistrict prosecutor's office approved the indictment against Khodorkovsky. He is charged under clauses "c, d" of Part 2 of Article 207.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Public dissemination of deliberately false information about the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation")

In October 2025, the FSB of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against Khodorkovsky and 22 members of the Anti-War Committee of Russia (AKR, recognized as an undesirable organization in the territory of the Russian Federation). It was clarified that the movement was established in February 2022. His goals are to forcibly seize power and change the constitutional order in Russia.
