The list includes numerous movements aiming to achieve self-determination of Russian regions, initiatives for the study of the history, culture and languages ​​of the peles of Russia, regional anti-war movements, as well as military formations from Russian regions fighting the war on Ukraine’s side.

Komi Daily stated that they have no relation to the "Forum of Free States of Post-Russia", and that they never took part in its work.

At the same time, the outlet advocates for the autonomy of the Komi and stresses that all income derived from Komi-based natural resources should remain in the republic, regardless of the form of state government.

Komi Daily is an online platform dedicated to Komi culture and modern life. Its website, where a statement condemning the war in Ukraine was published, has been effectively blocked in Russia.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Russia’s Supreme Court recognized the "Anti-Russian Separatist Movement" and "its structural units" as an extremist organization. However, a movement with that name does not actually exist.
