About 100 dead Russians are listed on Rosfinmonitoring's "terrorists and extremists" registry, according to Meduza.

The names of nearly 100 people added to Rosfinmonitoring's list of terrorists and extremists remain on it even after their deaths, Meduza writes. 

These are only the names journalists were able to obtain from the Registry of Inheritance Cases. There could be many more deceased, as probate cases aren't always opened after a person's death. This is especially true if the deceased was charged with terrorism.

Death is the official reason for removing a person from the registry. Why this isn't always done is unknown, Meduza writes.

For example, the Ruslan Alimpashaevich Yakhyaev in the Chechnya He died on March 4, 2000, at the age of 32. The probate case was only opened in 2021. However, in the summer of 2023, Yakhyaev was added to the Rosfinmonitoring registry and remains there to this day.

The most famous "extremist and terrorist" who retains his status after death is Alexey NavalnyIn April 2024, a lawyer Mikhail Benyash explained this by "complex bureaucratic procedures." In January 2025 Yulia Navalnaya published Rosfinmonitoring's response to the politician's mother's inquiry Lyudmila — the agency refused to remove her late son from its list until the criminal case was closed.

In total, Rosfinmonitoring currently lists approximately 20 people as "terrorists and extremists."
