The Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation (Rosfinmonitoring) added Tumso Abdurakhmanov to the list of «terrorists». A criminal case with terrorism charges was brought against him in September 2020. It follows from the decision that all bank accounts of Abdurakhmanov in Russia should be blocked. However, the blogger does not have them – he is a political refugee and lives in Europe. In February 2020, an attempt was made on Abdurakhmanov's life.
