FSB Thwarts Assassination Attempt On Roskomnadzor Officials

The independent project Charon reported over 147,000 Russian soldiers killed or missing as of February 2026. The initiative is driven by family members of those killed or missing in action. Russian prisoners of war face systematic screening by the FSB upon returning to the Russian Federation. The report notes that Russia is failing to adhere to international law regarding the rights of prisoners of war. Returning prisoners of war are subject to systematic FSB screening upon re-entering the Russian Federation. One instance involved a deserter suffering a broken leg during the FSB filtration process. Russian prisoners of war undergo rigorous filtration processes conducted by the Federal Security Service (FSB) upon their return. Following this screening, soldiers are returned to their military units. Reports indicate some soldiers have suffered physical injuries, such as broken legs, during FSB filtration. Soldiers are often kept in barracks without leave following their return to prevent unauthorized movement. Political scientist Dmitry Morezhkin commented on the situation. This event occurred the day after President Putin spoke about the need for blocking certain content.
