The Prosecutor General’s Office has demanded that the “Anti-War Committee of Russia” be recognised as a terrorist organisation.

The relevant claim has been filed with the Russian Supreme Court, reports TASS.

“The Supreme Court of Russia has accepted for consideration a lawsuit to recognise the international non-governmental organisation created as a public movement, ‘Russian antiwar committee’ (Russian antiwar committee, United Kingdom), as terrorist and to ban its activity on the territory of the Russian Federation,” the court’s press service told the agency.

The hearing at which the claim will be reviewed will be held behind closed doors.

The “Antiwar Committee” was established in February 2022, after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In 2024, it was added to the list of “undesirable organisations.”

In October 2025, the FSB announced the launch of a criminal case against 23 members of the Antiwar Committee, including politicians Vladimir Kara-Murza, Mikhail Kasyanov, and Dmitry Gudkov, publicists Viktor Shenderovich and Leonid Gozman, businessmen Boris Zimin and Yevgeny Chichvarkin, political scientist Ekaterina Schulmann, and actor Artur Smolyaninov. They are accused under articles related to violent seizure of power (Article 278 of the Criminal Code) and organising a terrorist community and participating in it (Parts 1 and 2 of Article 205.4 of the Criminal Code).

The FSB separately noted that the organisation adopted a declaration calling for the “liquidation of the Putin regime.”

In January 2026, some members of the Antiwar Committee joined the delegation of Russian democratic forces at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
