This story has been repeated by respected opposition figures such as Mikhail Khodorkovsky on social media, and well be doing more research and interviews to check the scale of reality and risk that this change may involve. But if such a list is being compiled by Putins spies it will likely include journalists, politicians, and public figures across Europe.
According to Dossier Centre sources, Russian military intelligence agents received urgent orders in early 2025 to gather information on critics who influence public opinion against the Kremlin.

Domestic opponents of the regime who are now in exile and active in critiquing it, or even actively involved in opposing it.
