Mikhail Anshakov

Mikhail Anshakov is known for asking the Constitutional Court to check whether the annexation of Crimea violates the basic law. The OZPP also issued a memo to tourists about the difficulties they might encounter when entering Crimea from the Russian side. Roskomnadzor blocked the page with the memo , and the Prosecutor General's Office demanded that a case be opened against the OZPP.
The outstanding conviction that Anshakov mentions is related to the case in which he was fined one hundred thousand rubles in May 2013. Anshakov was found guilty of libel: in an interview with Novaya Gazeta, he stated that the foundation of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior had turned the temple into a "business center". This was the reason for the lawsuit.
