Izabella Evloeva, the creator of Fortanga, the Ingush news website, has been added to Russia's federal wanted list for "spreading falsehoods" about the Russian army. It is the third accusation by the Investigative Committee of Russia under the same article brought against Evloeva since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
"International search will certainly complicate the choice of countries to which I could go," she said. "I have political asylum. It protects me. And besides, I am a journalist, and the case is political, so I do not think I will be deported, despite constant threats by security officials on Telegram channels," the creator of Fortanga added.
Evloeva said that Russian security forces had repeatedly tried to extort her by intimidating her family members who still live in Russia.
She remembered, "They came early in the morning and knocked on the door. My mother and father opened the door and realized it was a search when they spotted a swarm of law enforcement officers."
Evloeva claimed she intended to launch new initiatives and hand off Fortanga to another individual in Ingushetia, whose name she did not disclose.
