Dmitry Gudkov, a Russian opposition politician in exile, was intercepted by British police upon arrival at London’s Luton Airport last summer, who warned him he was on a list of people in danger due to his anti-Kremlin activities. Gudkov, co-founder of the Anti-War Committee, faces charges in Russia for allegedly spreading false information about the military. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a significant crackdown on dissent has forced many activists to flee, prompting an increase in threats and persecution against those opponents living abroad. Analysts suggest that the Kremlin's intensified efforts to silence critics reflect its growing paranoia and an existential struggle. Dmitry Medvedev, a high-ranking Russian official, has labeled these exiled critics as traitors. The Russian embassy in London has not commented on these claims.
