Vladimir Litvinov

Former head of the Law Enforcement Department of the Kaliningrad Oblast Government. On 22 August 2025, he was arrested for ten days under the administrative article on petty hooliganism (Article 20.1 of the Administrative Code). At the same time, a report on him was drawn up by an employee of the FSB, who allegedly "detected" Litvinov swearing in the street the day before. Litvinau claimed that at the specified time he was in the building of the FSS and gave explanations. On 2 September, when the term of administrative arrest expired, he was taken into custody on charges of financing terrorist activities. On 16 September, when the appeal against the decision on his administrative arrest was considered, the court in its ruling, which declared the arrest lawful, stated that Litvinau "did not appear at the court hearing for unknown reasons". The essence of the charges in the criminal case is not clear. The report of the FSSB said that the former official "at least 9 times transferred money to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine". The Novy Kaliningrad publication, citing the press service of the regional court, claimed that it was one bank transfer "to a bank card used, as the investigation believes, by members of the terrorist organisation Russian Volunteer Corps".
